Today:

Welcome to this week's instalment of /r/AskHistorians' Sunday Digest (formerly the Day of Reflection). Nobody can read all the questions and answers that are posted here, so in this thread we invite you to share anything you'd like to highlight from the last week - an interesting discussion, an informative answer, an insightful question that was overlooked, or anything else.

/u/uncovered-history did a great job explaining some aspects of religious participation in colonial America. His answer definitely changed some of my preconceptions about the role of the church and how common church attendance was for early settlers.

Also I'm still interested in learning about the evolution of the bill of rights in the US.

I really enjoyed this response by u/Athena_Laleak on Byzantine literature, it brought up some really interesting points that I’d never thought about before.
