Thanks Rev. Greco for the further information on both points.

I'd read that Julian was Byzantine when I initially read up on him but wondered about that before I posted today so rechecked on Wikipedia: it says many people date the Byzantine Empire from Constantine, others from Theodosius, and others from the last Roman emporer. I wasn't sure what view was involved in the course, but evidently the Constantine view is not the standard position, then. What would be more correct?

Let us know; let us press on to know the LORD; his going out is sure as the dawn; he will come to us as the showers, as the spring rains that water the earth.
