Can the C of C truly have a formal schism since there are no official structures to decree one, or to fight for? What can be done beyond reading each other out of the church in "brotherhood papers"? Rlquall 20:55, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Sectarianism/separatism/schism can take place in anarchistic settings just as easily as in a strictly controlled hierarchy. More easily, perhaps, and perhaps that's the rub with the Churches of Christ. They differ, then get angry, then there's no mechanism to heal the rift, rather, their whole body of tradition, (which has been hammered into them from childhood by the previous angry generation under pain of the fires of Hell), that they are fine just "shaking the dust off their feet" and staying angry at one another until Christ comes again. Increasingly shocking the more I read about it, just like the poor auto-alienated souls in Lewis' The Great Divorce. I specifically created this page because to me the fate of Boll is a perfect type specimen of the whole sad cycle. Alan Canon 23:07, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Campbell a Premillenialist?

Should the names listed with Campbell as premillenialists meant to be postmillenialist? I know Campbell was a postmillenialist, but if some few particular beliefs were premillenialist, I'm not as sure. Either way, the statement should be corrected or clarified. Campbell at least, was on the net a postmillenialist. Carltonh 21:25, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
