It wasn't just Martyr, but there have been many teachings that have gotten a second and even a third look.
Grace is one that has been revisited a number of times.
All that aside, I revisited a beautiful Roman Catholic cathedral in the heart of historic Savannah, Georgia on Sunday afternoon. I had been there nearly 2 decades ago to conduct the funeral of a deceased soldier. (I was the unit chaplain and the priest asked me to participate.)
At that time he showed me the beautiful linden wood carvings of the stations of the cross. I had been in the Oberammergau region of Germany and returned on my last tour to Germany, so I wanted to see those German woodcarvings of the stations at least once more in my life.
So I went. (And took a digital camera.)
They were everything I had remembered.
Your separated brother in Christ, Chaplain X.
Yup yup. I've seen some lengthy lists. And the occurance of differences are not as uncommon as some might want to believe. Right from the beginning, there was the issue of whether or not Gentiles should be circumcised like Jews. A council was convened to resolve the matter. Otherwise, we'd probably still be bickering about it. Ditto for the food restrictions, etc.

For what it's worth, I'm Orthodox (formerly Presbyterian). But my wife is Catholic, so you were half right. :)

What a nice story. I was expecting a "they told me they removed them during a 'renovation'" there.
