Stained Glass Windows in CoC?
Are there any CoC's that have a stained glass window. I wonder if there are any stories about a CoC buying a building from another church and getting rid of them.

Re: Portray of CoC in popular media
I have been to Antarctica and there are quite a few Churches there, most are the representative religions of the nations research stations there. There might be a group of CoC that meets at the largest station of the US, I think it has several hundred people.

Re: Portray of CoC in popular media
I was on a cruise in Antarctica and met some people who had gone to church with Billy Sol Estes. They said he took money out of the collection plate. He hung out with Lyndon too much. Although not CoC Bobby Baker was another one of the confidence men who hung out with LBJ. LBJ was going to be expos...

Re: Child Baptism
One kid I saw baptized was 8 and the preacher said they had thought he was too young but the child insisted and seemed to understand what he was doing.

Portray of CoC in popular media
Can anyone think of movies, tv shows, or songs where the CoC is portrayed? I can only think of two, the first is from the classic movie Deliverance, the town being moved due to flood from the dam has an ending scene where a church is being moved away from the waters, there is a sign on the church &q...

Re: What the CoC is right about?
I was thinking about this topic when I was lying in bed last night. I don’t think the CofC is right about much, IMO. I don’t agree with a literal interpretation of everything in the Bible, and I don’t think the important thing is being right about everything. I have been out of the CofC almost nine...

Re: What the CoC is right about?
Infant Baptism does identify the individual as belonging to the specific religion although obviously the infant doesn't know anything. There is a reason it is done and a reason why people were so opposed to the practice by the Catholic Church for centuries. Symbolic rituals can have great importance...

Interesting, how common is this? This was an enormous issue which led to Antibaptist and most modern protestant movements.faithanmore wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2024 11:36 am Infant baptism is "confirmed" when the child reaches a certain age, usually 15 or 16. So they really are given a choice as a later age.

What the CoC is right about?
Just trying to think about what issues is/was the CoC right about. 1) It seems they are very right to oppose infant baptism and emphasize it is the individual's decision to follow a particular religion/sect of a religion. Although there are extreme social pressures brought to bear to get someone to ...
