The idea that 1st century Christian worship was somehow “purer” than modern liturgical worship is quite novel.

I suspect an over 500 year old effort to get closer to the primitive Church can no longer be described as "novel," rzman.

The impurities that originally provoked that effort are well known, too.

>>The results have created stuff of people’s fancies. Mormonism is just a more extreme example of this mindset.

I believed this nonsense until I started studying the primitive Church and learned that Protestantism created a new religion rather than going back to what the earliest Christians believed.
