How Old Is Your Church?
The Deacon’s Corner…
How Old Is Your Church?
IF YOU ARE a Lutheran, your religion was founded by Martin Luther, an ex-monk of the Catholic Church, in the year 1517.
IF YOU belong to the Church of England, your religion was founded by King Henry VIII in the year 1534, because the Pope would not grant him a divorce with the right to re-marry.
IF YOU ARE a Presbyterian, your religion was founded by John Knox in Scotland in the year 1560.
IF YOU ARE a Congregationalist, your religion was originated by Robert Brown in Holland in 1582.
IF YOU ARE a Baptist, you owe the tenets of your religion to John Smyth, who launched it in Amsterdam in 1605.
IF YOU ARE of the Dutch Reformed Church, you recognize Michaelis Jones as founder, because he originated your religion in New York in 1628.
IF YOU ARE a Protestant Episcopalian, your religion was an offshoot of the Church of England founded by Samuel Seabury in the American colonies in the 17th century.
IF YOU ARE a Methodist, your religion was launched by John and Charles Wesley in England in 1744.
IF YOU ARE a Unitarian, Theophilus Lindley founded your church in London in 1774.
IF YOU ARE a Mormon (Latter Day Saints), Joseph Smith started your religion in Palmyra, N.Y., in 1829.
IF YOU Are a member of the “Church of Christ,” your religious roots are the result of the founding by Thomas Campbell and his son Alexander Campbell which was merged with Barton W. Stone in 1832 and became the Campbell—Stone Movement which was derived from the Restoration Movement in the early to mid 1800’s.
IF YOU worship with the Salvation Army, your sect began with William Booth in London in 1865.
IF YOU ARE a Christian Scientist, you look to 1879 as the year in which your religion was born and to Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy as its founder.
IF YOU belong to one of the religious organizations known as “Church of the Nazarene,” “Pentecostal Gospel,” “Holiness Church,” “Pilgrim Holiness Church,” “Jehovah’s Witnesses,” your religion is one of the hundreds of new sects founded by men within the past one hundred years.
IF YOU ARE Roman Catholic, you know that your religion was founded in the year 33 by Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and it is still the same Church.
“O God, I humbly beseech thee to teach me thy true religion that leads to everlasting happiness, through Jesus Christ thy Son, our Lord. Amen.”
God Bless! Deacon Rick
