READ this prayer by Queen Elizabeth I as you consider today's lesson about her. Complete your history card for this lesson. View her fancy signature and various portraits.
For review of recent lessons, do the following:
Create a "WANTED" poster for William Tyndale. Include details on the poster relevant to why he was a "wanted" man. File this under Europe: England in your notebook.
In considering the work of Bartolome de Las Casas from lesson 36, review how he spent his life. Injustices will exist as long as man is sinful, but God's love and mercy should especially shine through those who know Him who are able to defend the weak and powerless and subsequently share Christ's revelation with them. In developing a greater world awareness about these issues that are rooted back in the historical time of which we have been studying, read this brief summary about the recently oppressed people of Guatemala.
Also, review your "family tree" of the Reformers. Go back to your history cards and lessons for each of the items represented in the family tree to be reminded afresh of each person and group of religious followers that evolved after them.
