+Paul gave that speech to the “Supreme Court”, the Areopagus, at Athens, bb, not to an emperor in Rome. Acts 17:22-17:31. During the sermon he converted a justice of that court, +Dionysius the Areopagite, who became the first bishop of Athens. Acts 17:34.
If you ever go to Athens, you can go there and stand right where it is believed +Paul stood (same thing for Corinthos).

Yep, I stand corrected. That’s what I get for PWS (posting while sleepy).

Also, I would LOVE to visit Greece one day. I went to Portugal three times for work, but that's about as close to it as I've ever come. We have a good friend whose family has a house on the island of Samos.
