  Discover Jesus' goals of togetherness, oneness, and unity in an increasingly divided world. When you learn to confront the areas in your heart that might not love as Jesus loved, you can help build a flourishing, Christ-like culture. 
  Throughout his ministry, Jesus specifically bridged the gap with the ostracized, outcast, and overlooked. He told his followers to do the same. The gospel message is for everyone—and our mission as believers is to make disciples of Jesus, not duplicates of ourselves. This requires us to live and love beyond our preferences, to build relationships with those who are different from us, and to go beyond the boundaries of unspoken rules and invisible lines. It's time to break the strongholds of division that have been passed down from generation to generation.

  The Mythical Odyssey - Epic...

  Greek and Roman mythology have shaped the foundations of Western storytelling, philosophy, and culture. These ancient tales, passed down through oral tradition and later recorded in literary works, offer insights into the values, fears, and aspirations of early civilizations. From grand cosmic battles to intimate tales of love and betrayal, mythology provided explanations for the unknown, offering a lens through which people understood the forces of nature, the origins of humanity, and the complexities of the divine.  
    
  At the heart of these myths lies a shared heritage, where Greek legends influenced Roman adaptations, blending gods, heroes, and moral lessons into a unified tradition. The Romans, deeply admiring Greek culture, adopted much of its mythology, renaming deities and incorporating new interpretations that reflected their own beliefs and societal structure. While Zeus became Jupiter, and Aphrodite transformed into Venus, the core themes remained intact—struggles for power, quests for glory, and the enduring consequences of mortal actions.  
    
  The power of myth extends far beyond antiquity. Stories of gods and heroes continue to resonate, inspiring literature, art, and modern media. From Shakespearean tragedies to contemporary films and novels, the motifs of Greek and Roman mythology persist, illustrating timeless themes of ambition, fate, and redemption. Whether through the trials of Heracles, the cunning of Odysseus, or the tragic love of Orpheus and Eurydice, these tales remain relevant, reflecting the human condition in ways that transcend time and geography.

  Elizabethan Eras The: The Lives...

  Editors Charles River

  Until the implementation of new legislation on March 26, 2015, men were given preference to women in the British royal line. This system of male primogeniture meant that women seldom inherited the throne, and even when they did, they were often dominated by male councillors. Those women who married British kings gained the title of Queen, but they were queen consorts, holding the title with no power. This meant only a select few women ruled in their own right.  
  	When Queen Elizabeth II came to the throne in 1952, many commentators heralded the beginning of her reign as the second Elizabethan age. The first one, of course, concerned the reign of Henry VIII’s second surviving daughter and middle surviving child, Queen Elizabeth I, one of England’s most famous and influential rulers. It was an age when the arts, commerce and trade flourished. It was the epoch of gallantry and great, enduring literature. It was also an age of wars and military conflicts in which men were the primary drivers and women often were pawns.  
  	Elizabeth I changed the rules of the game and indeed she herself was changed by the game. She was a female monarch of England, a kingdom that had unceremoniously broken with the Catholic Church, and the Vatican and the rest of Christendom was baying for her blood. She had had commercial and militaristic enemies galore. In the end, she helped change the entire structure of female leadership.  
  	Queen Elizabeth II has become so much a part of British society and culture that her presence is taken almost for granted, setting the standard people now expect of a British monarch. The longest lived and second longest reigning monarch in British history, Elizabeth II has overseen her country during a time of incredible turmoil and ever-accelerating change, providing a stable figure at the heart of a nation going through seemingly endless upheavals.
