It is a fascinating subject to me.
"In all cases, the Church is to be judged by the Scripture, not the Scripture by the Church," John Wesley
xnman:then maybe you are studying/researching "ideology" instead...
I am trying to raise awareness of the third branch of the historical church - Oriental, Eastern, Western - because of the persecution/destructive warfare that is currently dispersing it.
Orthodox Bishop Hilarion Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."
Persecution.org (while protestant, still iirc tracks persecution against non-protestant traditions) and is a good resource for praying about such things. https://www.persecution.org/category/news/
