I'm using a plan that has me reading through 10 of the Church Fathers during Lent this year. Today was St. Ignatius of Antioch: Letter to the Philadelphians.
After yesterday's reading concentrating so much on St. Ignatius' preparations for martyrdom, today's readings that focused on unity within the church were welcome. I like how he continues to harp on the need for unity, and for clearly defined organization and governance.

Speaking of which, have you read any of Augustine?
Indeed. The content of these epistles is nearly identical to that of the New Testament Epistles.
