This page exists to index stories and themes that could be covered in relaying the history of Christendom (also known as 'Europe') to the young.


The intergenerational trauma of persecution, wars, and migrations across the ocean have rendered American culture sort of amnesiac regarding the trunk of the tree from which it branched. We must think of Europe, our older brother, the regulated child, and we America, the wild child, who God for now has elevated over the elder. And older brothers can be weird, can be cool, can be rivalrous, but we must love them and learn everything we can from their mistakes.
