Another important part of this website is to tell the vastly untold story of the forgotten Church of the East. Obviously Christ-iantiy started in the continent of Asia (the Middle East), but did you know that the Church of the East has just as rich of a history as the more familiar in the West?
It is of crucial importance that we remember our Brothers/Sisters of the eastern churches, tell their story, and support their decendants in both prayers and activity. *We also need to remember that although the Church of the East was larger and just as prominent/important as that of the West; it was all but stamped out in many areas, with almost every manuscript and written document purged out of the country along with their martyred brethren.
Let this serve as a reminder to us in our comfortable present day living, that it is written that "Christ-ianity" will last, but not necessarily in the United States or Europe. We MUST never take our blessing for granted, nor give up on or slack in our Christian duties. Please visit the link to to the left or below to read more about the very unknown story of the Lost history of Christianity in the east:
"Forgotten History of Christianity."

Contention #1 - That it is Biblical for us to remember those who are persecuted for following Christ (Hebrews 13:3), to assist in supporting our persecuted Brothers/Sister in Christ, and be ready for our own persecution by putting Christ at the center of it all, ("A servant is not greater than his master; if they persecuted me, they will also persecute you." (John 15:18-20))


Which Church can teach which more about "Christianity" vs. "Churchianity?"
Contention #2 - We can learn just as much from the persecuted church as they can us.

Contention #3 - Christianity is not a "western" religion, but it is a "world" religion/relationship.
Christianity has it's history and roots in the East and as the new book "The Lost History of Christianity" shows through historic records. We need to remember these roots, and help re-establish these broken chains where Christians in the East struggle through persecution and totalitarian regimes; as well as educate our churches and fellow Christians.
