CofC on Wikipedia

I have made some references to historical factors that have shaped our identity as Churches of Christ. Such issues arose out of our discussion of the recent decision of the Richland Hills CofC to hold instrumental services. In the end, I called for us to value and seek a greater degree of insight with regard to our personal convictions and congregational identity.

I received some warm and encouraging comments during the time of that discussion. There has also been some negative feedback. So, I want to move forward in such discussions, but do so with caution and sensitivity.

Here is the "Church of Christ" article on Wikipedia. For those with little exposure to our history, here is a place to start. [Note: Wikipedia is an online user-generated resource-anyone can submit and/or edit articles, the material does not experience the editorial scrutiny of a standard scholastic journal or commercial encyclopedia]

For those who have no interest in such discussions, I do beg your pardon! I will attempt to keep it to a minimum. I do not want to inhibit any other posts. This is something to run along the side of other posts, so long as there is an interest. So, please carry on!
