Today in Christian History is a serious gift to American Christianity which like much that is American lacks an in-depth understanding of history. However, it is hidden in the Home Page Explore section which I rarely have reason to view.
Clicking on it takes you to the Factbook entry for that event:
Alternatively, one can access Factbook by Day to view the possible entries for a day ... I chose tomorrow to show multiple possible entries.
My objections/suggestions?
- In contemporary times, I would like to see more emphasis on church history rather than what seems like a "cult of personalities." It takes some time to learn who actually made a lasting impact on church history.
- I have a favorite resource with a Verbum emphasis that I'd like to see added to the calendar See The American Catholic Almanac | Faithlife
- In the redesign of the Home Page when the Saints card was omitted, its reinstatement was not as a church sanctoral cycle but as a saints calendar book (like calendar devotional). Please restore the original purpose - both may be needed. See Default saints layout | Faithlife Yes, this is related in that a saint's day is, in theory, the day of their death/birth in new realm.
- In some manner, reinstate the liturgical ribbon of L7 in some format so that the date dependent items (lectionary/missal, prayer book, saints, day in history) are readily accessible on the work page. See Revive liturgical ribbon | Faithlife
Note that some of these requests illustrate how the suggestions themselves need revision as the application changes.
