Ex-Church of Christ Support Board

At a CofC in my area a number of years ago, the old ladies objected to preaching on Galatians, you know the Galatian Heresy type stuff, and as a result of their responsive input, 5 ministers demonstrably walked out all at once during a Sunday morning service, one I know ended up at an Independent C...

My nephew was a mainline COC preacher, later a minister for Disciples of Christ. He is currently a Unitarian Universalist minister.

It was a Nazarene Church. I was concerned that maybe I shouldn’t pass their collection plate, because that might be supporti...

Colleges also qualified as institutions to which the anti churches would not send money.

The missionary society split happened earlier, though.
