I know that means much more to Catholics than us...
But looking over the PCA website I couldn't help but notice how many Churches are named Christ, Grace, Redeemer, Trinity, Providence, Hope etc. The remainder seem to be named after a geographic landmark.
Seems to me that like with peoples names, a church name matters.
Fascinating. Interesting.
Evidently there’s been some . . . residual . . . beneficial effect of
SOLA SCRIPTURA which lifts up
CHRIST ALONE!
CHRIST ALONE!
CHRIST ALONE!
And when I emphasize CHRIST ALONE! I am emphasizing GOD ALONE IN THE MANNER AND FORM WHICH THE FATHER HAS CHOSEN TO EMPHASIZE BY PUTTING ALL THINGS UNDER CHRIST.
AS CHRIST is in The Father; Holy Spirit is in The Father and all are in each other . . . CHRIST ALONE! stands for The Trinity in the manifestation THE FATHER has chosen to reign supreme over this . . . multi-verse and all that is.
Naming a Catholic Church/ parish after a saint is a very old, ancient practice.

Lots of . . . missing the mark . . . missing the bull’s eye . . . sins . . .
are very old and ancient practices.
When did ‘very old and ancient’ become a vetting criteria of righteousness?
Oh, when righteousness became subordinate to
political power-mongering committees of vain-glorious bureaucrats intent on increasingly controlling the serfs and on increasingly milking them for every farthing the latest ‘theological’ concoction could facilitate relieving them of.
