Merlot with the Messiah

This month at Merlot with the Messiah we are going to explore a period of time in Church history that still reverberates around the world to this day; the Crusades. There are conflicts around the world today that have their roots in the actions and inactions of parties involved. To get a handle on what is going on in the world today, this period of time should not be ignored. History and emotion are not a good combination and so much of this period is wrapped in legend, half truths, and lies. How was the Church and other powerful players of Europe involved? The Knights Templar and the Knights Hospitaller built such a legend that Dan Brown, Indiana Jones, and the History Channel still tap into that intrigue today. Come on Monday, February 24th at 7PM and we will try and cast some light on this dark time.
