ITALY---During their 10-day honeymoon in Italy, A&O board member, Pastor Vivian Ampy and Mick Ampy will visit many important churches, and the first was
St. John Lateran (San Giovanni in Laterano). It was the first church that Christians were authorized to build after receiving permission from emperor Constantin. Later, the emperor also converted to Christianity and legalized the religion with the Edict of Milan in 313 AD. The Basilica is the official ecclesiastical seat of the Bishop of Rome, a title and honour appointed by definition to the Pope. The Ampy's were married in Indianapolis on Saturday, and today is the first day of their honeymoon.
