A letter from Ignatius, bishop of Antioch, written on his way to martyrdom in Rome.
Chapter 13. Meet together frequently for the worship of God
Chapter 14
1Take heed, then, often to come together to give thanks to God , and show forth His praise. For when you assemble frequently in the same place, the powers of Satan are destroyed, and the destruction at which he aims is prevented by the unity of your faith . Nothing is more precious than peace, by which all war , both in heaven and earth, is brought to an end.
