Comparing Differences I've Found in Religious Organizations with the Early Church
How
many answers can you find that say "Yes", which
indicates the possession of a virtue, attribute or tenet? Since it
has been many years since I've visited some churches, I left some
information blocks blank. If you would like to post a url in one
of the blank or other boxes, be my guest. However, I must review
it
first. In the mean time, post in our forum.
If you would like to share with others and you are a Christian, separatist or CLRC enthusiast, use our public forum.
