DAILY RECAP 10/14/16 TWO HEADS OF FAITH MEET; NOT A POLITICAL MEETING? HISTORICAL IMPLICATIONS

Russian Patriarch's visit to queen stirs some complaints
Every nation in this world has some differences of how things are set up... Great Britain is different than the USA.. The HEAD OF THE MONARCHY IS STILL HEAD OF THE CHURCH. 
Even though they have 'freedom of religion' they still have a state church..  So when they meet, are the two  meeting as head of faith groups or  is one head of a nation and faith meeting with one from another faith head?
   If there is any hope for peace in this world, heads of whatever need to communicate with each other..  And if heads of two Christian faiths can not get together and we pray , as people of faith that something positive for world peace can come from this, then we are really in trouble in this world.
My prayers for the meeting and for the visit..
   As my dad always said, there is more in common between the Russian Orthodox church and the Church of England , then between the Roman Catholic Church and the Church of England in faith doctrines and the way the individual faith groups teach one should live their lives as a member .
      One of the worse things that has occurred in the USA is the extreme interpretations of recent decades of separation of church and state in our secular institutions.   Schools cannot teach history of they cannot teach how history is created by faith... WARS HAVE BEEN FOUGHT EVEN AMONG CHRISTIANS IN THE PAST.  To a Christian this seems incredulous. as if it would not 'compute' but nearly every faith group has split and too often gone to bloody outcomes as one vs. the others on interpretations of he same faith.
    And who is allowed to even study the basic differences in the major parts of the same faith groups or another faith groups.  And one does not have to teach in a manner that is expecting any one to believe in any one.   There needs to be more attention to how to teach such in a secular setting as factual history apart from encouraging one to believe it. Some attempts that have ended in horrific court cases and other outcomes is where ;comparative religion; is taught and then all are asked to say the prayer of one group or another.... this is not necessary as one can teach the basic beliefs of what is follows or does with out asking one to do the prayer or participate in the ritual.   This goes to some practical 'teaching of the teacher.' But if our students in the public schools are to be 'educated' they do need to know the basics of history and that personal  beliefs have historical been in such disagreement that bloody wars have been fought over the disagreements. .  Our students often do not even understand why one small ;threshing floor few acres of planet EARTH Is the most  disputed  piece of land in the world.    THE TEMPLE MOUNT  in JERUSALEM  if one does not fully understand HISTORY. and how what the UN just did this week is not only EARTH SHATTERING FAITH WISE BUT COULD PLUNGE THIS WORLD INTO WW III over this one piece of land that 3000 years ago was just a threshing floor for grain  of one farmer       
     Christians are taught by Yahusha whom we Christians call Christ Jesus that one is " in the world but not of the world" and that is where we often find ourselves with out private thoughts of faith and faith group we choose to belong to and what the secular world of our governments say we should do in practice outside of those privacy thoughts and faith groups.
         For me, I will be praying for the Queen and the Patriarch for a positive and good outcome for world peace in these troubling times as they meet.
