whoever came up with this concept is genuinely psychotic

„boymoding“ bestie you look stunning

I remember it being explained to me as being in contrast with how catholics and anglicans will have churches named after saints or kings, that in this church jesus is definitely the most important figure

I don‘t know the exact story behind churches of christ- I know it has something to do with a schism in the baptist church in the US. they spread to various places internationally in a loosely organized network but the churches themselves are basically independent.

I was still a christian then but even then I found it very bizarre and off-putting, and I realized later the point is to alienate yourself from society so you can seem oppressed or marginalized, that way you retreat into your faith further as a defense mechanism

i was raised Church of Christ, when I was younger some students from a US christian college visited our church, while we were showing them a historical site in our city they and my mum decided to start singing gospel songs for no reason
