Church Names
I recently had conversations with Toby and Rick about church names:
Toby said he wished that Protestant churches had retained the term "Catholic," e.g. in a construction like "Reformed Catholic." I knew I had heard of a continuing Anglican body with such a name, and I thought it was in Hawaii. Well, here it is: The Hawaiian Reformed Catholic Church (via the AnglicansOnline.org page, "Not in the Communion").
Knowing of my interest in the citywide church, Rick pointed me to the sites of The Church in Pullman and The Church in Spokane. Perhaps it's a bit presumptuous of individual congregations to use such names, but I'm sure they mean well.
