[edit] Churches of Christ in Australia - history

The Churches of Christ (Australia) is the Australian arm of the Disciples of Christ in the US.

No, it's not... the two groups are similar, and are both part of the Stone-Campbell Conference, but they aren't linked in that way.matturn 03:38, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
We could mention the similarities though. --Just nigel 03:37, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

We could mention the similiarities and differences. In Australia I have never seen robes, choirs or calling pastors "reverend". We have shared a bible college with the Baptist Union for a century. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.163.138.12 (talk) 01:12, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Check link

Please check the link to the proposed '08 convention website. Thanks, Rlquall 03:09, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Structure

A major restructring. I have added new headings and arranged the information that was there under the headings as a step towards lefting this article beyond a stub. I changed a bit of the content but don't think I deleated anything (be brave and restore anything you see that has been lost). Now the task is to fill in each of these headings to create a fuller picture of the Churches of Christ in Australia.

[edit] Needs adding

Since everyone in the US automatically assumes that the Australian Church of Christ 'must' be affiliated with the US non-music-using-fundamentalist 'Church of Christ' somebody should add a diplomatic note that they have nothing whatsoever to do with each other...

They are linked. They're both part of the same international Conference, and share some history. And there are a few "a capella church of Christ" churches (the non-music using group you refer to) in Australia too. matturn 12:41, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
