There is simply more than one "type" of church calling itself "Church of Christ".

You guys do not have a monopoly on the title.

BTW, the independent Christian Church I belonged to as a child always had a pot-luck dinner EACH AND EVERY FRIDAY EVENING. Their theological standard was that this was required because Christ fed the multitude. Your branch probably thinks buildings are prohibited because they are not specifically mentioned, which would require, of course, that the potluck supper beheld lakeside. Right?

More recently I've attended a DoC that came about as a result of a Church of Christ (non-instrumental) congregation merging with a Southern Baptist church whose members were first relocated to New England (on defense work) and then to this area (again on defense work). The church is laid out like a typical Church of Christ.

Sure be confusing to someone who "didn't know".

Odds are that ANY congregation EVER affiliated in any way with Stone or Campbell is going to give you answers pretty typical of the others.

The Campbell, stone movement took place in the mid 1800's. The Church of Christ predates that by about 1800 years. Check it out in Romans 16:16. I don't know what movements you may be familiar with, but they are evidently not the Church of Christ that I am affiliated with. Please do not attempt to assign us to a particular denominational theology.
