Ekklesia Then & Now is a bi-weekly (sometimes) newsletter devoted to understanding and applying the lessons taught by the early church. The main source for the lessons will be the Word of God found in the Bible, but other primary and secondary sources are used when appropriate.

Each issue has three sections:

1. THEN - a self-contained discussion of a single concept about the early church. These concepts will be focused on the beliefs (orthodoxy), practices (orthopraxy), attitudes (orthophrony), and works (orthoergon) — okay, I made up those last two ortho- words, but they fit — of the first few generations of Christians (mostly pre-325 A.D.)
2. NOW - a discussion of how the principle introduced applies to the church today.
3. DISCUSSION - follow-up from the previous week (clarifications, examples, questions, issues, etc.)

The purpose of Ekklesia Then & Now is to honestly examine what God expects of the church of Jesus Christ in today's world. It continues to be an exciting and stimulating journey!
