[edit] Dictionary entry?
This article seems to be just defining a term which in part or in total describes the "Christian Church". Any reason not to just consider this a "dictionary entry" (i.e. inappropriate) and merge it into Christian Church (or some other article)? I agree that there is a significance to the term in Christianity but it's not clear why the term has an article (i.e. it is not clear that the "thing" it describes is different in some important way from the "thing" described elsewhere). --Mcorazao 18:33, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
I vote keep it, maybe flesh it out a bit more, but you come across the terms a lot in old books and I found this helpful. Most people think of a Church as a building or something, and this clarifies otherwise. (71.221.189.99 01:18, 16 September 2007 (UTC))
[edit] A good article on its own
Only the more voluminous dictionaries would have entries for these terms and generally not together. This article discusses the relationship between the two phrases, provides background information and clarifies a concept that would be confusing to the modern observer. This is precisely what people come to wikipedia for. If it got merged into the text of a larger article, there runs the risk of it being edited out to improve the quality of the other article. I'm not swayed by the reasons presented that it should be deleted or merged. I arrived here looking for precisely the information contained in the article. It's a pretty good article, IMHO. 70.51.52.159 04:31, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
