Hello:
I am asking members of the Church of Christ (Christians) to take this survey. I would like to get a cross section, and gather up some answers to see where the general knowledge about the separation between the Church of Christ Mainline, and the Church of Christ Non-Institutional (sometimes called "Anti") lay. For myself, I did not understand many of these things until recently. I want to know if my experience is common or not - I believe it likely is.
Please answer the questions to the best of your knowledge without researching them before you answer. I don't want to know your research skill, I want to know what you understand already, generally. Don't be afraid of wrong answers - this is only to gather what you think is correct. Please answer honestly. Thank you for your time. (NI = Non Institutional, sometimes called "Anti", and sometimes called "forbidding brethren".) |
