TODAY’S CHRISTIAN WORLD is very confusing. On the one
hand there are the established churches that can claim many millions of
adherents and on the other hand there are a large number of believers
who worship separately, whose beliefs differ widely from those of the
established churches. In recent years, there have been moves on the part
of some church authorities to press for closer ties between the
so-called Protestant churches and the Roman Catholic Church but in
general the Christian world is a divided one.
The Christadelphians are certainly Protestant in the sense that we have
protested about errors of belief and practice in the established
churches. We only accept the authority of the Bible as the Word of God
and our guide for life. As this special issue of Light on a New World
will demonstrate, our longer history reaches back to the very start of
Christianity. Our aim is to show why we are ‘protesters’ and why we
follow the beliefs and practices of the first century Christians. We
will also show why it is that we are at variance with the majority of
Christians today and we urge you the reader, to think about the message
in this booklet. We ask you to compare your beliefs with the teaching of
Christ and his apostles and judge for yourselves.
The publishers of this magazine are often asked questions like the
following: ‘What does the name Christadelphian mean?’ ‘Why are you
separated from all other church groups?’ and ‘What is so special about
your beliefs? By reading Light on the Christadelphians we are sure you
will find the answer to these and other related questions.
During the 19th Century many small religious sects sprang up with new
ideas and doctrines. However, this was not the case with the
Christadelphians. The name admittedly was new, but their beliefs and
doctrines were not. The Christadelphians were dedicated to a revival of
the beliefs and practices of the first century Christians.
