[PAR35]

"47. The Christian Church was begun in West Virginia by Alexander Campbell in Bethany."

They are talking about the denomination now better known as the Disciples of Christ.

I believe that the Church of Christ is also Campbellite.

Campbellites tend to believe that they are the only Christians and may believe that you have to be baptised in oune of their churches to be saved. So they have no compunction about calling themselves the Christian Church.

Thanks for the link . . . good read. They have an interesting motto:

"Where the scriptures speak, we speak; where the Scriptures are silent, we are silent."

Best leave it at that . . .
