"What the soul is in the
body, that the Christians
are in the world."
Letter to Diognetus, written to a new convert, during
the era of persecutions in Rome.

Roman Description of Christians: They reside in their respective countries, but only as aliens. They
take part in everything as
citizens and put up with
everything as foreigners.
Every foreign land is their
home, and every home a
foreign land. They marry
like all others and beget
children but they do not
expose (kill or abandon)
their offspring. Their
board they spread for all,
but not their bed.

+May Jesus Christ be Praised. Amen.+
