The Importance of Rejoicing

This is the third installment in Eric's epic summer series covering the contentious and war-torn season of American history from 1914 to 1974. In this episode he shows how one shocking event of kindness in 1903 altered the course of the twentieth century. Edward VII, the King of England, was trained from birth to hate the French, just as the French from birth were trained to hate him, a Brit. But, Edward altered the storyline of the age-old French-English feud by humbling himself and visiting Paris with the sole intention of restoring a lost fellowship, a lost trust, and a lost grace. It may be time for us to break similar age-old patterns of disgust in our own lives. But, if you are going to visit "the Beautiful City" and witness the same miracle Edward witnessed, you will need to pack something along with you. The key for entry.
