"Augustine of Hippo (354–430 AD) was one of Christianity's most influential theologians. He taught that Adam's sin was passed on to all humanity: everyone is born guilty and inclined towards wrongdoing, and no one can choose good or be saved without God's grace (whilst he believed in free will, he argued sin had severely compromised humanity's ability to exercise its free will towards the good without grace).

His opponent Pelagius taught that humans can choose good through their own free will. Pelagius was condemned by the Church in 418 AD.

Augustine's view became central to Catholic and Protestant theology. Eastern Orthodoxy teaches that humans inherit a tendency to sin from Adam, but not his guilt."

"Mary, Queen of Scots, is a Catholic and the great-granddaughter of Henry VII. This gives her the strongest hereditary claim to succeed Elizabeth I of England, who is Protestant, unmarried and childless.

In 1567, Mary was forced to abdicate the Scottish throne in favour of her infant son, James VI, who was raised Protestant. In 1568 she fled to England, where Elizabeth has held her in custody for 19 years.

In 1570, the Pope excommunicated Elizabeth and released English Catholics from obedience to her. Several plots since then have aimed to kill Elizabeth and place Mary on the throne. In 1585, Parliament passed the Act for the Queen's Safety, which allows anyone in whose name such a plot is made to be tried.

In 1586, Elizabeth's spymaster, Francis Walsingham, intercepted letters in which Mary appeared to approve a plot to assassinate Elizabeth (the Babington Plot). An English commission tried Mary, a foreign sovereign, and found her guilty.

England is in an undeclared conflict with Catholic Spain under Philip II, having sent troops to support Protestant rebels in the Spanish Netherlands in 1585.

It is February 1587. Elizabeth must decide whether to sign Mary's death warrant."

You and your wife have just decided to separate. Your wife proposes that instead of both of you finding separate homes and having your kids (12F, 14M) move between them, you rent one additional residence together. The kids would permanently stay in the original home, with the parents alternating between the rented property and the original property, individually spending equal time with the kids. This would continue until both children turn 18.

"A didactic play is one written primarily to teach its audience a moral, political or social lesson. The playwright’s message is made explicit and the play is built to persuade the audience towards a particular conclusion. Examples include ""An Inspector Calls"", ""Everyman"", or ""Mother Courage and Her Children"".

A mimetic play is one written primarily to represent life as faithfully and convincingly as possible. The play depicts characters and situations without steering the audience towards a fixed message, and leaves them to draw their own conclusions. Examples include ""The Cherry Orchard"", ""Death of a Salesman"" and  ""A Streetcar Named Desire""."

The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) is a regional bloc of West African countries, including Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal and Côte d’Ivoire. Five of its members, mostly francophone, already share the CFA franc, which is pegged to the euro and historically guaranteed by France. Others, such as Nigeria and Ghana, have their own national currencies. ECOWAS has long planned a shared currency called the “Eco”.

Jubilee’s "Surrounded" is a debate format in which one person representing a particular ideology or viewpoint (e.g. feminism, conservatism or climate change denial) debates 20 people who hold opposing views.
