Proposed re-structuring of "Timeline of Church History"
: We'd need to come up with a criterion for inclusion in this article (i.e., what constitutes high importance). —[[User:ASDamick|<font size="3.5" color="green" face="Adobe Garamond Pro, Garamond, Georgia, Times New Roman">Fr.

:: I very strongly second Fr Andrew's idea above, which would provide the best of both worlds.
:: #1) We could take the timeline as is, and break it up into separate pages for each of the periods listed, as is suggested above. This would allow for any fuller development of those periods, on their new page, and more attention to thaose periods, should there be any.
:: #2) The overall page/timeline would remain as is, but (drastically?) reduced of course to the most major events only. Again, as Fr Andrew says, a criterion for inclusion on this page would have to be established (I am thinking along the lines of the 7 Ecumenical Councils, other major councils, the great Schism, the major events of the Apostolic and Early Church, and things of this sort.
:: #3) Very important from a logistical point of view, would be to have each of the subheadings in the main article, actually linked to the separate and more detailed page for that period. That way, all the information is still accessible from the main page, a click away; and both world-extremes of breath and of scope (i.e. detailed chronlogical history vs major events only) are satisfied this way. Seems an excellent organizational idea.
:: If there are no objections, I propose we proceed. My two cents,
:: Cheers,
