Anniversaries of Historical Events:

In October, there are many anniversaries of significant events in religious history. These include the First Wesleyan Missionaries arrive in America (1769), the Second Vatican Council (Vatican II) (1962), and Million Man March (1995).

In addition to reading about these single events, you can delve into substantially more religious history by viewing any of our nine interactive timelines. These include specific timelines dedicated to religious groups, women, race/ethnicity, and more.
