Just the facts -- just the facts!
The Church I attend is a Christian non-denominational church and began about 30 years ago.
However, I was speaking of the beginning of Christianity as manifested by the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, the first Christian Church.
The time line begins with the Pentecost. For the first thousand years or so, the one Christian Church consisted of the five patriarchal centers, Jerusalem, Antioch, Rome, Alexandria, and Constantinople.
After the end of the Roman persecution of Christians and during the time of the Russian conversion The Great Schism occurred in A.D. 1054.
The Great Schism created The Roman Catholic Church whilst the Christian Church continued unchanged as the Orthodox Church.
Later, after the Protestant Reformation, the Church of England begins to pull away from The Roman Catholic Church whilst the Orthodox Church continued.
To this day, the worldwide Orthodox Church maintains the fullness of the Apostolic Faith.
These are facts but there are many more facts available for those with a keen interest in learning.
