Here is a sticky question: What is a reporter supposed to do when writing a story about a religious group that does not see itself as a denomination and strives not to use traditional (remember that word) language to describe itself and much of its work? Do you use the traditional terms and explain that the group being covered does not use them or do you use the group’s unique terms, knowing that you’ll need to translate them for readers? We are talking about the Church of Christ, specifically the movement that is best known for the fact that its churches do not use musical instruments in worship.

With two recent public confrontations, a year-long, highly publicized drama in the world of Scientology has spilled into the streets of Clearwater. The latest incident occurred Friday afternoon as seven members of the Church of Scientology — including five senior members of its California-based international management team — surrounded and screamed at a former church executive, then loudly carried the dispute into the office of an unsuspecting and startled doctor. [Note: it is our policy to post news about acts of hatred on the part of 'religious' organizations in the 'hate groups' file.]

Some churches rely on itinerant speakers, others have a team preaching approach, and many churches have the solo preacher approach. There are some unique challenges that come from being the main or the only preacher in a church. At the BibleFresh preaching event, Stephen Gaukroger offered seven quick comments on what it takes to sustain a long-term ministry as the main preacher in a church: 1. You have to be a long-term preacher – That is, our personal integrity only becomes more important in a context where you preach over a long period of time, so you must be refreshing yourself under God’s Word continually. 2

Now that I’m done with the Easter study, I seem to be meditating quite a bit on my time in bondage to Herbert Armstrong’s error. In my time confined in Armstrongism, I spoke out boldly against Easter and those who observe it. I concentrated on the name, putting forward grossly inappropriate and highly questionable statements as fact – for instance that “Easter comes from the pagan goddess Eostre, who is Ishtar, and the Bible says God hates Ishtar.” I fashioned verbal weapons regarding the pagan origins of eggs and bunnies and lilies, and I beat my fellow Christian with those weapons
