What is the Church?
A church is a building used for Christian worship services and Christian activities. The earliest identified Christian church is a house church
founded between 233 AD and 256 AD. The word church also describes a body or assembly of Christian believers, while "the Church" refers to the worldwide Christian religious community.
Frequently Asked Questions
1.Why did early Christians have church synods and councils?
Priests and bishops would often come together and vote on Christian theological matters due to the disunity, differences and conflict within the Christian denominations.
2.How did James, leader of the Jerusalem Church, view Apostle Paul?
Paul's new doctrine met with disapproval from the Jewish-Christians of the Jerusalem Church, who regarded the substitution of Jesus' atoning death for the observance of the Torah as a lapse into paganism.
Paul was duly summoned to Jerusalem by the leaders James, Peter and John to explain his doctrine in 50 AD.
3.What are the origins of Christian church music?
Saint Ambrose (334-397), a keen advocate of church music is credited with introducing it into christian worship.
