January 17, 2005

      Corrected URL for The Evangelical Christian Church Inc. and for the Ecumenical Anglican Catholic Church on the Protestant page. Deleted URL for the International Churches of Christ on the same page, as it seems to have stopped working.

      Added on the Anglican page The Free Episcopal Church. Updated the URL for the Evangelical Anglican Church of America.

      Corrected the entry for the Inclusive Orthodox Church by moving it to the Eastern Orthodox (Chalcedonian) Churches page, in the section on Eastern Orthodox-tradition independent churches. The change was based on a gracious e-mail from its presiding Bishop, Daniel del Monte Carmelo, Archbishop Primado and Apostolic President of the Inclusive Orthodox Church. My apologies to the Bishop that it has taken some tine to make the correction due to the Webmaster’s long work periods overseas.

January 9, 2005

      The Webmaster returns from extended overseas duty as part of the post-9/11 war on terrorism. Finally, more updates. My apologies for being in so many places without Net access.

      On the Protestant page: entered Website for the World Evangelical Congregational Fellowship; Allegheny Wesleyan Methodist Connection; Evangelical Church of North America; and God’s Missionary Church. Deleted the Missionary Church of Canada. (It merged into the Evangelical Missionary Church of Canada, my error.) Added links for the Missionary Methodist Church of America; Mount Calvary Holy Church Of America; Congregational Methodist Church; and the General Assembly of the Korean Presbyterian Church in America.

January 5, 2003

      Completed update of Baptist churches page, and created a separate page for Baptist churches and bodies outside North America. Completed crosschecking with “Section 11, Baptist Family,” in the sixth edition of Melton (J. Gordon Melton, Encyclopedia of American Religions, Sixth Edition (Farmington Hills, MI: Gale Research, 1999). Many entries were revised or added.

      On the Protestant Churches page, added the Tioga River Christian Conference to the Christian Churches (Stone-Campbell Movement) section.

      On the Cults, Sects, and New Religious Movements page, broke the entry for Christadelphians into Amended Christadelphians and Unamended Christadelphians. Note that Melton lists these groupings as belonging to the Baptist family of churches. I have them listed on the Cults, Sects, and New Religious Movements page due to their strong differences with traditional Protestant beliefs.


January 3, 2003

      The Most Rev. D. Ceabron Williams, General Secretary of the Ecumenical Anglican Catholic Church, has been kind enough to bring to my attention the fact that my inclusion of the EACC in the “Inclusivist (non-Canterbury) Anglicans” section of the Anglican and Episcopal Churches page misrepresents the position of the EACC on human sexuality. As he writes, “In the sense that we are ecumenical, and in that we embrace fully our Anglican and Catholic roots, yes indeed, we are inclusive.  However, to suggest that we are ‘inclusive’ in the sense that we embrace, encourage or condone the homosexual life-style is an error and a serious mis-representation of the Biblical faith we cherish.” Accordingly, I have re-entered the EACC under the section heading "Traditionalist (non-Canterbury) Anglicans.” My thanks to Bishop Williams for the correction, and my apologies for my original error.

      Added the Council of Orthodox Catholic Churches — Fraternity of Priests of the Holy Spirit to the “Unclassified or mixed-stream apostolic churches” section of the Apostolic-succession independent churches page. My thanks to Bishop Kirk P. Mason, of the church’s Diocese of Transfiguration, for bringing the church to my attention.

      Made a separate page for Baptist churches. Began crosschecking it with “Section 11, Baptist Family,” in the sixth edition of Melton (J. Gordon Melton, Encyclopedia of American Religions, Sixth Edition (Farmington Hills, MI: Gale Research, 1999).

      Added the World Assemblies of Restoration to the “Other Pentecostal churches” section of the Pentecostal and Apostolic churches page.

      Finished revamping the entries on Amish, Brethren, Mennonite, and Quaker churches and cross-checking them with “Section 10, European-Free Church Family,” of Melton.

      Moved all “What’s New?” entries prior to 2003 to a separate page.

December 31, 2002

      Happy New Year!

      Finished cross-checking the Pentecostal and Apostolic churches page with “Section 9, Pentecostal Family,” of the sixth edition of Melton.

      Transferred the New Apostolic Church Canada and USA and its international headquarters from the Pentecostal and Apostolic churches page to the “Unclassified Protestant denominations” section of the Protestant Churches page.

      Added the Emmanuel Apostolic Church and the United Apostolic Church International to the “Apostolic and Pentecostal churches” section.

      Added the Apostolic Brotherhood International to the “Latter Rain’ section.

      Began revamping the entries on Amish, Brethren, Mennonite, and Quaker churches per “Section 10, European-Free Church Family,” of Melton. These entries have now been moved to a separate page due to their length. Brethren churches were also moved to the new page, making Pietist churches now their own separate section. Quaker churches were moved to the new page as well.

      Made the Anglican and Episcopal churches list a separate page due to its length.


December 24, 2002

Added the Allegheny Wesleyan Methodist Connection; Association of Fundamental Ministers & Churches; Bible Holiness Church; Bible Holiness Movement; Bible Methodist Connection of Tennessee; Christian Nation Church, U.S.A.; Christ's Sanctified Holy Church; Church of God (Guthrie, OK); Church of God (Sanctified Church); Church of God (Which He Purchased with His Own Blood); Church of the Bible Covenant; Churches Of God (Holiness); Christ Holy Sanctified Church of America; Evangelical Missionary Church of Canada; Evangelical Wesleyan Church; God’s Missionary Church; Gospel Spreading Church; Immanuel General Mission [Japan]; Independent Holiness Churches of Canada; Kentucky Mountain Holiness Association; Lumber River Annual Conference of the Holiness Methodist Church; Metropolitan Church Association; Missionary Church of Canada; Missionary Methodist Church of America; Parkville Bible Church; Pilgrim Holiness Church of New York, Inc.; Pilgrim Holiness Church of the Midwest; Salvation Army, Canada and Bermuda; United Holiness Church of North America; Voice of the Nazarene Association of Independent Churches; Wesleyan Holiness Association of Churches; and, the Wesleyan Tabernacle Association.

      Crosschecked sections on “Pietist” and “Methodist” churches in the Protestant Churches page with “Section 7, Pietist-Methodist Family,” of the sixth edition of Melton. Note that my taxonomy differs somewhat from Melton’s. I list the Pietist churches in a meta-grouping with Brethren churches, and account for the Methodist tradition separately, which is consistent with Mead. As a result of the cross-checking, I added the African Union First Colored Methodist Protestant Church and Connection, Inc.; Association of Independent Methodists; British Methodist Episcopal Church of Canada; Evangelical Methodist Church (Kingsport, TN); Fellowship of Fundamental Bible Churches; Free Christian Zion Church of Christ; Methodist Protestant Church; New Congregational Methodist Church; Reformed Methodist Union Episcopal Church; Reformed Zion Union Apostolic Church; Southern Congregational Methodist Church; and, Union American Methodist Episcopal Church to the “Methodist churches” section.

October 21, 2002

      Calvin day! Crosschecked sections on Congregationalism, Reformed, and Presbyterian churches in the Protestant Churches page with “Section 6, Reformed-Presbyterian Family,” of the sixth edition of Melton. Note that my classification differs somewhat from Melton. He lists the Churches of God, General Conference with the Reformed Family. I feel that they are sufficiently distinct to warrant a listing under the section on Holiness and Apostolic tradition, which is consistent with Mead.

      In the Reformed Churches section, added, the Canadian and American Reformed Churches, Christian Reformed Churches of Australia, Free Reformed Church of North America, United Reformed Churches in North America, and a whole pot-full of Reformed churches outside of North America.

      In the Presbyterian Churches section, added the American Reformation Presbyterian Church, Free Presbyterian Church, Presbyterian Reformed Church, Reformed Presbyterian Church (Covenanted) [Steelite Covenanters], Reformed Presbyterian Church General Assembly, and a whole pot-full of Presbyterian churches outside of North America.

October 17, 2002

      Updates of the Eastern Orthodox (Chalcedonian) Churches Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox (non-Chalcedonian) Churches pages are finally finished, delayed due to several extended overseas business trips. This update includes crosschecks with “Section 4, the Eastern Liturgical Family,” of the sixth edition of Melton (J. Gordon Melton, Encyclopedia of American Religions, Sixth Edition (Farmington Hills, MI: Gale Research, 1999).

      Added St. Anne’s African Orthodox Church to the Apostolic-succession independent churches page.
