The only thing that I think might be lacking is the Church in the East , the Orthodox.  Rome was only one Bishop of the historical Church. Ironically, the Eastern (catholic) church also split with Rome. That continues to this day. Is this history of the pilgrim Church found also among the rest of the Eastern bishops?

What Broadbent researched is the church gatherings that mainly went high up into the Alps from around 400 AD, to escape the Roman church.  This would predate the Eastern Orthodox branch I think.

I think some of those to whom you refer would have been Waldensians.......

I think Broadbent's book dove-tails well with L. Verduin's The Reformers and Their Stepchildren.

Whereas Broadbent is particularly strong on the pilgrim character of the church in pre-Reformation times, Verdiun concentrates on post-Reformation churches.

Sorry but the New covenant scripture refutes this notion. The exception you speak of was not synagogues, but the new Sanhedrin established under the roman Emperor Vespasian after the destruction of the temple. The often used phrase "constintinian Christianity" could easily be applied to the Sanhedrin at Yavneh, which gave authority to one sect, the Pharisees concerning the religion of the Jew's. It was by the roman emperor that post temple Judaism prospered in power over Jew's and Judaism. The Roman Emperors were simply doing what they always did, discern which religions were not a threat to the empire, thus given legality, by approval. Evidently, the Pharisees convinced Rome, they alone were not the cause of the Revolt and violence against Rome.

I think this is when their "traditions of men" peculiar to the sect, became law, which they called oral. Could we not say the same of this as others do the Church? Who gave authority of law to their traditions? Moses or Rome?

That however was disproved with the bar kochba revolt years later when he was proclaimed Messiah and another revolt began. That is when they lost Jerusalem for good. 

All I hope is for some fairness and balance..

Shalom, Anne2.

I'm talking about the Diaspora after the Temple had been destroyed.  The Jews were forcefully relocated to different cities in the Roman Empire. The Christians who were largely Jewish were also relocated, but by choice having been warned by an angel ahead of time.

@Anne2 BTW, your phraseology is interesting; do you know of the book by E H Broadbent, 'the Pilgrim Church'?

Hello Farouk,

No, I just looked it up, and watched a video. It appears This tracing may not go back to the eastern Church. That is why I asked the question.

Ok, thanks. That was is my impression from what I looked up, but was not absolutely sure. The eastern Church was also outside of that. For some of the same (not all) reasons. The immaculate conception, authority of the Roman bishop etc. While there are differences in Orthodoxy, Greek, Egyptian etc, there has been no likeness to a reformation among them. But schism with the Roman bishop. Rome, and it's authority was a factor. The western Church therefore never knew the "Church in the same framework as the ancient Eastern Churches.

No, this is third century and 5 Major areas with it's bishops  mainly. Rome, Antioch, Alexandria, Jerusalem, Constantinople (Greece). All one Church back then.

You may be right, that is, The Pilgrim Church that Broadbent researched was keen to leave the practices of the Roman church and anything that added the traditions of men.

Well, there are certain differences, but they spilt because of some of the issues Protestants split. I am pretty sure these are some main ones, reading their posts on other forums.

Transubstantiation, immaculate conception, and Roman bishops authority (instead of equals).

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
