Hey Graham,

Life's going good for me right now, actually :) I've been busy with school and work, but I'll see what I can do about the clean up. I ''would'' use PilhetBot if it ws an automated program, but it's not an ''actual'' "bot" unfortunately. Just an account I flagged as a bot so all the miniscule changes and clean up work I did with it wouldn't clog up Recent Changes. :)

How are you doing, btw?

God bless, -- [[User:P.B. Pilhet|P.B. Pilhet]] / [[User talk:P.B. Pilhet|Talk]] 00:31, 11 October 2008 (PDT)

== HELP! ==

I somehow deleted the original [[Text:Apostles' Creed]]. I tried to get it back but couldn't, so I copied the Wikisource one, then I found I had 2 Wikisource duplicates, I deleted 1, but found both had been deleted so undeleted. How do I remove only 1 copy?. There is now a Wikisource template [[Template:Wikisource]] which I used in the above article [[User:Kathleen.wright5|Kathleen.wright5]] 03:10, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

: Not sure how to fix the problem. I'll look into it. Thanks Kathleen. --[[User:Graham grove|Graham]] 12:58, 21 October 2008 (PDT)

I'd like your opinion on the information section of this article [[Australian Christian Channel]]. Its the best I could do without an Infobox template, which I tried out here but found didn't work. [[User:Kathleen.wright5|Kathleen.wright5]] 02:36, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

: Looks like you did well. I've re-formatted to fit WikiChristian's page layout style ([[WikiChristian:Page Layout]]). I'm not sure how to incorporate infoboxes. I'm not fussed about infoboxes - if the information can be put into prose then I think that that is good. And if not, then a table can always be created in the main article.

==New Message from a Fellow Commentary Wiki==

Hi Graham,

I encountered your page through a series of links on the internet. I'm with [http://www.biblefootnotes.org www.biblefootnotes.org] a new attempt at collaborative bible commentary on the web. I noticed that you're interested in bringing bible commentary attempts together and we are too and I'm wondering if we could start talking together about ways to do that. I placed a comment on the Talk site that you suggested as well, but I'm personally wondering if you would mind giving feedback on our site and your thoughts we could help in the project to unify all these different projects and how what we're doing complements your work here. I can be reached at efredric at g mail dot com. Thanks in advance!

== Blocking Policy ==

I am a Christian, and I believe in being charitable, even praying for those who spitefully use us, but our blocking policy is not in tune with reality. Nearly 100% of the time if you are spammed by an anonymous I.P. address, you are not dealing with a human being but a zombie, about whom we have no word from the Lord on charity. These are computers who are virus infected and their owners don't even know that they are being used as part of concerted attacks against websites all over the world. I saw these "FIELD_VALUE_asljkas"-like attacks all over the internet the past few days by a variety of I.P. address. Blocking these address for a week or less just makes for more work during the next round of attacks. I think, that is malicious, spamming or destructive links are being done anonymously we should ban the address for a year, and always be careful to allow account creation: someone my come here from an infected computer and have no idea. Sorry to pontificate so, but I've been cleaning up these attacks all week all over the internet, and our policy just doesn't seem wise/effective. --[[User:Aquatiki|Aquatiki]] 16:34, 17 December 2008 (PST)

: I'm not really up to date on how all of these things happen and I don't reckon we've ever sat down and sorted out any sort of blocking policy. I think you're right and we should block these ip addresses for longer. Thanks. --[[User:121.45.192.82|121.45.192.82]] 00:31, 19 December 2008 (PST)

Systematic theology

2009-02-06T09:40:25Z

Lamorak: Adding a brief overview of systematic theology

The doctrines within systematic theology has historically been classified as the following:

*1. Introduction to Systematic Theology (sometimes referred to as [[Prolegomena]])
*2. [[Bibliology]] (Doctrine of the Bible)
*3. [[Theology Proper]] (Doctrine of God)
*4. [[Christology]] (Doctrine of Christ)
*5. [[Pneumatology]] (Doctrine of the Holy Spirit)
*6. [[Anthropology]] (Doctrine of the nature of man)
*7. Harmartiology (Doctrine of Sin)
*8. Angelology (Doctrine of Angels and Demons)
*9. [[Soteriology]] (Doctrine of Salvation)
*10. [[Ecclesiology]] (Doctrine of the Church)
*11. [[Eschatology]] (Doctrine of Last Things)

Theology is the study of the nature of [[God]]. In a Christian context, theology is the attempt to know God more fully by gaining a rational understanding of God's [[revelation]] (chiefly found in the [[Bible]]).

===Classification===

Theology is sometimes classified or divided in a number of ways.

====[[Practical theology]]====

Practical theology is the study of doctrine as it is expressed in institutional churches, such as liturgy, preaching (homiletics), church administration, Christian education, and pastoral care.

====[[Systematic theology]]====

Systematic Theology is the study of doctrine organized by themes found within Scripture. For example, when one is studying biblical theology he may study what faith means in [[Galatians]], the [[New Testament]], or if studying historical theology he may study what it meant to [[Augustine]]. However, in systematic theology one seeks to understand what the entire Bible (often including general revelation) taught about [[faith]] or any other area of theology.

====[[Historical theology]]====

Historical theology is the study of doctrine as it has developed over time. It attempts to integrate the thoughts of other Christians throughout the centuries since the times of the Bible.

====[[Biblical theology]]====

Biblical theology is the study of doctrine 1) within a particular period of time in the Bible (Old Testament, New Testament) or 2) within the particular writings of an author (John, Peter, Paul). "Biblical theology seeks to discover what the biblical writers, under divine guidance, believed, described, and taught in the context of their own times". It is based first and foremost on the [[Bible]] itself. Biblical theology assumes that the canon was provided by the [[Holy Spirit]] through the instrumentality of human authors.

Hermeneutics

2009-01-27T12:26:09Z

Lamorak: Modifying the introduction

{{quote | text={{Bible verse|2 Timothy|2|15|lang=WEB}} [[2 Timothy 2:15]]}}

{{Infobox_Contents |
topic_name = Hermeneutics |
subtopics = [[Exegesis]]
* [[Genre]]
* History of Hermeneutics - [[Apostolic Hermeneutics]] |
opinion_pieces = {{short_opinions}} |
}}

Hermeneutics is the study of interpretation theory. Hermeneutics in the traditional and Christian sense refers to the use of interpretation of texts in the [[Bible]].

Hermeneutics involves establishing important principles for understanding the Bible, and then interpreting it so its message is made clear to the reader or listener. It involves [[exegesis]], which is the process of examining what the actual biblical text meant to the author and its original intended audience. It also involves contextualization or application of the meaning of the text in a contemporary context.

Taken together, both exegesis and contextualization are what comprises hermeneutics.

The goal in applying the principles of hermeneutics is to "rightly handle the word of truth" ([[2 Timothy 2:15]]) striving to accurately discern the meaning of the text.

===Important Considerations===

There are a number of factors that need to be considered when interpreting the Bible. Understanding how these factors combine with accepting the Bible as God's word is an important challenge for each Christian.

====Yourself - The Interpreter====

No person interprets in a vacuum. It is important for the interpreter to consider how his culture and up-bringing influences his interpretation. Although it is impossible to completely remove personal bias and cultural understanding, recognizing it as a factor in interpretation is extremely helpful.

====The Author's Purpose and His Original Audience====

Understanding that the author wrote the text for certain purposes is very helpful. For example, realising that one rason the [[apostle Matthew]] wrote the [[Gospel of Matthew]] was to show his Jewish audience that [[Jesus]] is the [[Messiah]] helps shed light on why Matthew so often makes reference to the Old Testament prophecies concerning the Messiah.

====Time====

Not only is there a gap of at least 1,900 years between the original author of a book and the person reading and interpreting the Bible today, but there was often a gap between when the author wrote the book and the events he described. For example, the [[apostle John]] wrote his account of Jesus' life decades after Jesus' ministry, death and resurrection. Other authors wrote about events they did not witness, such as Luke who wrote the [[Gospel of Luke]] and [[Acts]] after speaking to eye-witnesses. Much of the Old Testament authors wrote about events that happened generations earlier.

====Culture====

The Bible tells the history of a people over many centuries. Their culture changed and developed with time and in many ways is very different from the cultures of Christians today. Understanding the cultural contexts and meaning of customs can be very helpful in better interpreting the intended message.

====Language====

The [[Old Testament]] was mostly written in [[Hebrew]] and partially in [[Aramaic]]. The [[New Testament]] was written in [[Koine Greek]]. Naturally it is a complex task to translate these ancient languages in modern day languages. This is especially the case with words that have ambigious or unclear meanings.

Futhermore, when the gospels quote the words of Jesus, it must be remembered that Jesus likely spoke [[Aramaic]], yet the gospel writers wrote in Greek, and so these are translations of Jesus' words by men for whom Greek was not their mother tongue.

====Geography====

====Genre - Style====

===History of Hermeneuetics===

====Jewish Interpretation====

====[[Apostolic Hermeneutics]] - The Apostles Interpretation of the Old Testament====

The way in which the apostles understood and interpreted the Old Testament showed many similarities to contemporary Jewish hermemeutics, but also marked differences. Examination of the apostles' usage of the Old Testament reveals a Christological approach to understanding it, that is, they saw the Old Testament through the lens of Jesus as the fulfilment of Scripture.

Exegesis

2009-01-27T12:19:10Z

Lamorak: adding link to hermeneutics

'''Exegesis''' is the critical interpretation of a Biblical text. The purpose of exegesis is to discover the meaning of a text.

The process of exegesis - that is, the critical components in exegesis - typically involve the following:
* Observation of grammatical features
* Syntactical analysis
* Key word studies
* Identification of the literary genre
* Examination of the context
* Investigation into textual criticism, and
* Studies of relevant historical and cultural background

All of these aspects are employed in order to approach the author's intent and therefore discover the meaning of the text. While exegesis often refers to the study of the text in the original Greek and Hebrew languages, it also refers to the study of the text through translations such as English.

Sometimes exegesis is used synonymously with [[hermeneutics]]. However [[hermeneutics]] is the broad category, while exegesis is one of two aspects within hermeneutics. The other aspect within hermeneutics is contextualization (or significance). The Christian's hermeneutical approach then is to first use exegesis to discover the meaning of the text and then contextualize the significance of that text to the present. In other words, observations of the text should lead to uncovering the meaning and significance of the text, which should then lead to a number of applications of the text.

==Synopsis==
[[Image:Spread of Christianity in Europe to AD 600.jpg|thumb|Spread of [[Christianity]] to 325 AD (dark blue) and 600 AD (light blue).]]
The [[church]] is the body of believers of Jesus Christ and since it was formed after the resurrection of Jesus, major events and conflict, often over matters of [[doctrine]] have resulted in significant rifts in the church. Initially the early Christians spread the good news of Jesus throughout the Roman empire and small congregations of Christians sprang up in many towns. Rome soon became the geographical centre of the church. However, there was a rift between the Church in Greece and the one in Rome that slowly developed over centuries culminating in a schism in 1054 AD. Later, in sixteenth century, Christians in northern Europe split from the Roman church, an event known as the [[Reformation]]. Today there seems to be a bewildering array of [[denominations]]. Some of the larger ones include [[Roman Catholicism]], the Greek and Russian [[Eastern Orthodox|Orthodox]] churches and the wide variety of [[Protestant]] churches.

==Main article==

The history of the Christian church is full of times of struggle and renewal. In the early centuries, debates about the nature of God caused great division. In the Middle Ages, people in Christian lands formed armies to "defend" the Holy Lands. In the mid second millenium, there was a renewal of awareness of the Bible spawning the Reformation. In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, missionary activity has spread the gospel around the world.

===The Early Church To AD 325===

Christianity began among a relatively small number of Jews who knew and followed [[Jesus]].

====The Chuch expands: Jerusalem to Rome====

[[Acts 2]] tells the story of [[Pentecost]] where 3,000 Jews converted to Christianity on oen day. Later in [[Acts 10]], the conversion of the [[Gentile]] Roman Centurion [[Cornelius]] and his family is told. Following the acceptance of Gentiles by the church, Christianity spread rapidly throughout the Roman Empire.

====Persecution====

For about 250 years Christians suffered from persecutions for various reasons, including their refusal to worship the Roman emperor, considered treasonous and punishable by execution. There were persecutions under Nero, Domitian, Trajan and the other Antonines, Maximinus Thrax, Decius, Valerian, Diocletian and Galerius.

Many Christians were willing to die for their faith. The first martyr known of was the [[apostle Stephen]] who was stoned by the Jewish religious leaders - the story is told in [[Acts 7]].

===Acceptance and Conquestion: 325 to 600===

In February of 313 a joint proclamation was made by the Western emperor [[Constantine I]] and the Eastern emperor Licinius. The proclamation - called the [[edict of Milan]] - established religious toleration for Christianity throughout the Roman Empire.

====Constantine and the Christian empire====

By 391, under the reign of Theodosius I, Christianity had become the state religion of the Eastern Roman empire.

Christianity was not restricted to the Mediterranean basin and its hinterlands however. The [[Apostle Thomas]] tradionally is believed to have taken Christianity to [[Kerala]] in southern [[India]], and today many southern Indians are [[Saint Thomas Christians]]. Christianity also spread to other regions like [[Ethiopia]] and [[Armenia]].

====Heresies and Councils and Creeds====

Disputes of [[doctrine]] began early on. The newly organized church organized councils to sort matters out. Councils representing the entire church were called [[ecumenical councils]]. These councils especially discussed various Christological controversies, examing questions like, "was Christ divine?"

====Fall of the Roman Empire====

====Christian ascetics and monks====

===Christianity in the Dark and Middle Ages: 600 - 1500===

====The Western Church====

====The Eastern Church====

====[[Great Schism]]====

In AD 1054 the formal split (called the Great Schism) between the church of Rome (the Roman Catholic Church) and the eastern churches (the Greek and other Orthodox churches) occurred. A number of issues led to the split, where the Roman pope excommunicated the Orthodox patriarch, and vice-versa. The main issue causing the split was opposing views to the question Did the Holy Spirit proceed from the Father and the Son, or from the Father alone? Other issues included marriage of bishops, the requirement of bishop to have beards, the correct time to observe Easter, and the requirement of the bishop of Constantinople to recognize the pope as the highest authority.

====[[Crusades]]====

Between the 11th and 13th centuries, Christian Europe was involved in a number of military campaigns against the Muslims in the Holy Lands.

===Reform: 1500 to 1650===

====[[Reformation]]====

In the 16th century, the practice of buying indulgences for the [[forgiveness]] of sins became prominent in the [[Roman Catholic Church]]. A number of prominent Christians questioned the teaching of [[purgatory]] and [[indulgences]], culminating in [[1517 AD]] with the German [[Martin Luther]] circulating his [[95 Theses]] disputing indulgences. This marked the start of the [[Reformation]] and the [[Protestantism|Protestant Church]]. The ideas in [[Germany]] were taken up in other northern [[Europe|European countries]], [[England]] and [[Switzerland]]. The Protestant Churches taught that the [[Bible]] had sole absolute authority, that every believer could come to [[God the Father]] through [[Christ]] without the need for a [[priest]], and that [[justification by faith|justification was through faith alone]].

====Counter-reformation====

The Roman Catholic response to The Protestant Reformation is known as The Counter Reformation.

===Revival and revolution: 1650 to 1800===

====Methodists====

====Expansion world-wide and mission====

Christianity came to America with its European colonization. Where the Spanish and Portuguese invaded and settled in South and central America, Roman Catholicism became predominant. A mixture of local superstitions blended into Catholic teaching producing a unique South American style of Catholicism with the veneration of Mary and saints particularly noticeable today. In North America, the British brought the Anglican and Baptist churches. Other Protestant Christians journeyed to Northern Europe forming Lutheran and Mennonite Anabaptist congregations.

In the nineteenth century, with this new religious freedom in northern Europe and North America, many new Christian movements developed. William Booth founded the Salvation Army in England, a Protestant denomination with an emphasis on social justice. The Gideon's were founded in 1899 and became a world-wide organization to distribute free Bibles.

Along with the development of these Christian organizations came a growing belief, especially in evangelical Christians in Britain, that it was their duty to call sinners throughout the world to Christ. A few generations previously, Christians had been calling for an end to slavery of Africans. Now they were calling for missionaries to go to the homes of those people who had been made slaves and to preach the Gospel. Missionaries went throughout the the colonies of the European powers and Christianity was adopted by large numbers of people in Africa, and smaller numbers of people in India and South East Asia.

Edict of Milan

2007-07-03T14:06:13Z

Lamorak: Add new topic

The edict of Milan is the name given to a joint proclamation made by the Western emperor Constantine I and the Eastern emperor Licinius in February 313. The edict established religious toleration for Christianity and freedom of worship for all Christians throughout the Roman Empire. In addition, both emperors ordered that confiscated property such as church property and Scriptures be returned to the Christians.

Lactantius is the primary source for the edict of Milan, and the appropriate excerpts for edicts of Toleration can be found at http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/source/edict-milan.html.

Lamorak:

Lamorak is the name of a knight in the King Arthur legends. My real name is Mark. I am an evangelical Christian.

My interests are wide ranging in the areas of [[Bible]], [[theology]], Church history and religions. I have a masters degree in Theology (ThM). I have access to a lot of good sources, so feel free to email me for sources, discussion or even to ask me to check out articles.

Lately I have been expanding the [[Denominations_Index]].

In the near future I hope to contribute articles relating to interpretation, the historical-grammatical method, and church history.

[[Image:Spread of Christianity in Europe to AD 600.jpg|thumb|Spread of [[Christianity]] to 325 AD (dark blue) and 600 AD (light blue).]]
The [[church]] is the body of believers of Jesus Christ and since it was formed after the resurrection of Jesus, major events and conflict, often over matters of [[doctrine]] have resulted in significant rifts in the church. Initially the early Christians spread the good news of Jesus throughout the Roman empire and small congregations of Christians sprang up in many towns. Rome soon became the geographical centre of the church. However, there was a rift between the Church in Greece and the one in Rome that slowly developed over centuries culminating in a schism in 1054 AD. Later, in sixteenth century, Christians in northern Europe split from the Roman church, an event known as the [[Reformation]]. Today there seems to be a bewildering array of [[denominations]]. Some of the larger ones include [[Roman Catholicism]], the Greek and Russian [[Eastern Orthodox|Orthodox]] churches and the wide variety of [[Protestant]] churches.

==Main article==

The history of the Christian church is full of times of struggle and renewal. In the early centuries, debates about the nature of God caused great division. In the Middle Ages, people in Christian lands formed armies to "defend" the Holy Lands. In the mid second millenium, there was a renewal of awareness of the Bible spawning the Reformation. In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, missionary activity has spread the gospel around the world.

===The Early Church To AD 325===

Christianity began among a relatively small number of Jews who knew and followed [[Jesus]].

====The Chuch expands: Jerusalem to Rome====

[[Acts 2]] tells the story of [[Pentecost]] where 3,000 Jews converted to Christianity on oen day. Later in [[Acts 10]], the conversion of the [[Gentile]] Roman Centurion [[Cornelius]] and his family is told. Following the acceptance of Gentiles by the church, Christianity spread rapidly throughout the Roman Empire.

====Persecution====

For about 250 years Christians suffered from persecutions for various reasons, including their refusal to worship the Roman emperor, considered treasonous and punishable by execution. There were persecutions under Nero, Domitian, Trajan and the other Antonines, Maximinus Thrax, Decius, Valerian, Diocletian and Galerius.

Many Christians were willing to die for their faith. The first martyr known of was the [[apostle Stephen]] who was stoned by the Jewish religious leaders - the story is told in [[Acts 7]].

===Acceptance and Conquestion: 325 to 600===

In January of 313 both [[Constantine I]] the ruler of the Western half of the empire and [[Licinius]] ruler of the Eastern half, met in Milan and agreed that Christian worship would be tolerated throughout all the empire. This event is often called the [[Edict of Milan]]. In AD 325, Constantine would become the first Christian emperor.

====Constantine and the Christian empire====

By 391, under the reign of Theodosius I, Christianity had become the state religion of the Eastern Roman empire.

Christianity was not restricted to the Mediterranean basin and its hinterlands however. The [[Apostle Thomas]] tradionally is believed to have taken Christianity to [[Kerala]] in southern [[India]], and today many southern Indians are [[Saint Thomas Christians]]. Christianity also spread to other regions like [[Ethiopia]] and [[Armenia]].

====Heresies and Councils and Creeds====

Disputes of [[doctrine]] began early on. The newly organized church organized councils to sort matters out. Councils representing the entire church were called [[ecumenical councils]]. These councils especially discussed various Christological controversies, examing questions like, "was Christ divine?"

====Fall of the Roman Empire====

====Christian ascetics and monks====

===Christianity in the Dark and Middle Ages: 600 - 1500===

====The Western Church====

====The Eastern Church====

====[[Great Schism]]====

In AD 1054 the formal split (called the Great Schism) between the church of Rome (the Roman Catholic Church) and the eastern churches (the Greek and other Orthodox churches) occurred. A number of issues led to the split, where the Roman pope excommunicated the Orthodox patriarch, and vice-versa. The main issue causing the split was opposing views to the question Did the Holy Spirit proceed from the Father and the Son, or from the Father alone? Other issues included marriage of bishops, the requirement of bishop to have beards, the correct time to observe Easter, and the requirement of the bishop of Constantinople to recognize the pope as the highest authority.

====[[Crusades]]====

Between the 11th and 13th centuries, Christian Europe was involved in a number of military campaigns against the Muslims in the Holy Lands.

===Reform: 1500 to 1650===

====[[Reformation]]====

In the 16th century, the practice of buying indulgences for the [[forgiveness]] of sins became prominent in the [[Roman Catholic Church]]. A number of prominent Christians questioned the teaching of [[purgatory]] and [[indulgences]], culminating in [[1517 AD]] with the German [[Martin Luther]] circulating his [[95 Theses]] disputing indulgences. This marked the start of the [[Reformation]] and the [[Protestantism|Protestant Church]]. The ideas in [[Germany]] were taken up in other northern [[Europe|European countries]], [[England]] and [[Switzerland]]. The Protestant Churches taught that the [[Bible]] had sole absolute authority, that every believer could come to [[God the Father]] through [[Christ]] without the need for a [[priest]], and that [[justification by faith|justification was through faith alone]].

====Counter-reformation====

The Roman Catholic response to The Protestant Reformation is known as The Counter Reformation.

===Revival and revolution: 1650 to 1800===

====Methodists====

====Expansion world-wide and mission====

Christianity came to America with its European colonization. Where the Spanish and Portuguese invaded and settled in South and central America, Roman Catholicism became predominant. A mixture of local superstitions blended into Catholic teaching producing a unique South American style of Catholicism with the veneration of Mary and saints particularly noticeable today. In North America, the British brought the Anglican and Baptist churches. Other Protestant Christians journeyed to Northern Europe forming Lutheran and Mennonite Anabaptist congregations.

In the nineteenth century, with this new religious freedom in northern Europe and North America, many new Christian movements developed. William Booth founded the Salvation Army in England, a Protestant denomination with an emphasis on social justice. The Gideon's were founded in 1899 and became a world-wide organization to distribute free Bibles.

Along with the development of these Christian organizations came a growing belief, especially in evangelical Christians in Britain, that it was their duty to call sinners throughout the world to Christ. A few generations previously, Christians had been calling for an end to slavery of Africans. Now they were calling for missionaries to go to the homes of those people who had been made slaves and to preach the Gospel. Missionaries went throughout the the colonies of the European powers and Christianity was adopted by large numbers of people in Africa, and smaller numbers of people in India and South East Asia.

Lamorak:

So how expansive should the denominations list be? Should it: 1)consist only of Christian groups, 2) Christian groups + related controversial groups such as the Christadelphians and LDS, or 3) Use "denominations" as a broad term for religions? I'd favor number 2 - listing Christian denoms and related controversial groups, since there are entries for those here on WikiChristian. Lamorak

Dispensation

2007-06-29T23:41:04Z

Lamorak: Adding definition of dispensation

The term '''dispensation''' in Protestant Christian theology is a distinctive arrangement or period in which the purpose of God is worked out. Many organizations and confessions recognize '''dispensation''' as a type of administration. The term dispensationalism though is a Christian theological view that advocates periods of time called '''dispensations''' form the framework through which God relates to mankind.

Talk:Directory listing of churches around the world

Lamorak: Talk:Directory listing of churches around the world NEEDS A FUCK moved to Talk:Directory listing of churches around the world

==Directory Listing of Churches==

Please visit the [[Directory listing of churches around the world]] and add your church into the database. It would be a wonderful and remarkable thing if WikiChristian could have a listing of all the churches in the world with a short description of the church making a note of the service times and the address. For example, the church I go to is [[St Matthew's and St Bart's Anglican Churches in Adelaide, South Australia]], which can be reached by following: [[Churches in Australasia and the Pacific islands]] -> [[Churches in Australia]] -> [[Churches in South Australia]] -> [[Churches in Adelaide and its suburbs]]. So, if your a regular attender of a church, why not add it to the database? --[[User:Graham grove|Graham grove]] 09:54, 19 Sep 2005 (EDT)

== Making it easier to navigate the list... ==

I've been thinking that this list of churches, although useful, is to hard to navigate. There are just more clicks than are necessary to get where one wants to go. I will start developing a some easier system that involves just the use of a single page... e.g. the Directory listing page. If any one has any suggestions, please mention them here... --[[User:Ymmotrojam|Ymmotrojam]] 21:16, 26 January 2006 (EST)

Lamorak: Major events and important NEEDS A FUCK moved to Major events and important movements in church history

''In brief'': The history of the Christian church is full of times of struggle and renewal. In the early centuries, debates about the nature of God caused great division. In the Middle Ages, people in Christian lands formed armies to "defend" the Holy Lands. In the mid second millenium, there was a renewal of awareness of the Bible spawning the Reformation. In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, missionary activity has spread the gospel around the world.
