Re: Do Black CoC's believe apostles are alive today
I live in Memphis TN and most of the formerly white CoC's have more than a token black membership. In general the hispanics have separate services in the buildings which are in Spanish. There are a number of CoC's in predominately black communities which appear to have almost no white representation...

Do Black CoC's believe apostles are alive today
Does anyone know if most black CoC's currently believe there are apostles living today? I read this was the main difference in black and white CoC's.

Re: Stained Glass Windows in CoC?
There was a big controversy over the Union Church of Christ constructing a building with classical type columns. It was viewed as too opulent and this was discussed in the Gospel Advocate. This occurred sometime around WW2. It apparently was part of a change in the CoC from being a pacifist apocalyp...

Re: Stained Glass Windows in CoC?
There was actually a big controversy over the design of the building of the CoC on Union Ave in Memphis TN. People felt the building was too opulent and not in the conservative traditions of the CoC.

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...
