Will the real church please stand up?

While working on Christian Buzzword Bingo I noticed how many items in the list end with "Church" or could be combined to end with "Church". Here's a list just to get us started:

  • Acts 29 Church
  • Attractional Church
  • Charismatic Church
  • Community Church
  • Confessional Church
  • Conservative Church
  • Contemporary Church
  • Credal Church
  • Discipling Church
  • Emergent Church
  • Emerging Church
  • Evangelical Church
  • Hierarchal Church
  • House Church
  • Liberal Church
  • Liturgical Church
  • Mega-church
  • Missional Church
  • Modern Church
  • New Testament Church
  • Orthodox Church
  • Postmodern Church
  • Reformed Church
  • Simple Church
  • Small Church
  • Traditional Church

Which church do you belong to? Is it listed above?

Which reminds me of another buzzword, "Authentic" or "Authentic Church."

"The" Church. :D

Yeah, what Tina said.

The Church. The catholic (universal) church. And really, I don't just "belong". I am the church.

Tom, Tina, CH,

I have added Authentic, Authentic Church and 'The' Church to the bingo page (v1.4.1).

You forgot Jesus' Church

Jim said...

Scott,

I sometimes think we all forget Jesus' Church. :o)

CH,

BTW, I loved the link to "I am the church". Thanks for that.
