Its primary offices are located in Atlanta, GA.There are a number of smaller Baptist associations in the United States which maintain a separate existence from the larger groups for doctrinal reasons.…
In these denominations, the term Mass often colloquially refers to the entire church service in general.In general, Protestants avoid the term "Mass" and use such terms as Divine Service or service of worship, for doctrinal reasons.For the celebration of the Eucharist in Eastern churches, including those in full communion with the Holy See, other terms such as the Divine Liturgy, the Qurbono Qadisho or Holy Qurbana and the Badarak are normal.…
Since the 4th century, the Church in India started communication with the East Syrian Church and soon began to introduce liturgical books and share rites.Thus the Indian Church became a member of the Syro-Chaldean Patriarchate for practical purpose, not for doctrinal reasons.The head of the Indian Church was called The Metropolitan and Gate of All India, and had jurisdiction over all of the country.…
Over the next 50 years, many Mormons (between 20 and 30 percent of Mormon families) entered into plural marriages as a religious duty, with the number of plural marriages reaching a peak around 1860, and then declining through the rest of the century.Besides the doctrinal reasons for plural marriage, the practice made some economic sense, as many of the plural wives were single women who arrived in Utah without brothers or fathers to offer them societal support.By 1857, tensions had again escalated between Mormons and other Americans, largely as a result of accusations involving polygamy and the theocratic rule of the Utah Territory by Brigham Young.…
Finally, Islamists opposed cinema for ideological or doctrinal reasons.While Shia Muslims (unlike some strict Sunni Muslims) do not forbid pictures, many strict Shia believe any motion pictures "with music, dance or any other un-Islamic portrayal is haram to view."…
Few Dor Daim take such an extreme view today, as most consider that the above reasoning makes Jewish law too uncertain in practice.Those who do take such a view would argue that it is not at all uncommon in Judaism for one group to treat as invalid the ritual acts or objects of another for technical or doctrinal reasons.That does not amount to an attempt to exclude the other group from Judaism.…
Three years later (1833) he accepted a call to the seminary of the South Carolina Synod at Lexington, where he died in 1853.Hazelius, who did not leave the Moravians for doctrinal reasons, held that Lutherans and Reformed do not differ fundamentally.Accordingly, he also approved of distributing the Lord's Supper at the same altar, to Lutherans according to their practise, to others in the manner of the Reformed.…Cited from American Lutheranism, Vol. 1, by Friedrich Bente
As the disinterment had taken place without imperial sanction, Macedonius fell into disgrace, and Roman Emperor Flavius Julius Constantius caused him to be deposed by the Acacian party and succeeded by Eudoxius in 360.This deposition, however, was not for doctrinal reasons, but on the ground that he had caused much bloodshed and had admitted to communion a deacon guilty of fornication.Macedonius continued for some time to live near Constantinople and cause trouble.…
Thus, though it was united to Orthodoxy when established through the work of Saint Augustine of Canterbury in the early 7th century, its separation from Orthodoxy came about through the Great Schism.To all these churches, the claim to catholicity (universality, oneness with the ancient church) is important for multiple doctrinal reasons that have more bearing internally in each church than in their relation to the others, now separated in faith.The meaning of holding to a faith that is true is the primary reason why anyone's statement of which church split off from which other has any significance at all; the issues go as deep as the schisms.…
Now the same fight has come on a far larger scale than men ever dreamed of before.It isn't, therefore, for merely doctrinal reasons that we are concerned for the spread of democracy nor merely because a democracy is the only scheme of organization yet wrought out that keeps the door of opportunity open and invites all men to their fullest development.But we are interested in it because under no other system can the world be made an even reasonably safe place to live in.…Cited from Life and Letters of Walter H. Page, Volume II, by Burton J. Hendrick
All believers of CCI seek perfectly to follow Jesus Christ's footsteps in a process of continuous sanctification.The "Founding brothers" of Christian Church in Italy after 40 years have considered it necessary to split from the Assemblies of God in Italy for purely doctrinal reasons.The doctrinal question, in fact, has forced CCI's Founders to carefully readdress its roots.…
Big translation bureaux were set up for the preparation of these translations into Chinese, in which many copyists simultaneously took down from dictation a translation made by a "master" with the aid of a few native helpers.The translations were not literal but were paraphrases, most of them greatly reduced in length, glosses were introduced when the translator thought fit for political or doctrinal reasons, or when he thought that in this way he could better adapt the texts to Chinese feeling.…Cited from A History of China., [3d ed. rev. and enl.], by Wolfram Eberhard

The name is actually a misnomer which became current in the West; the Roman See had sought to discredit this church, which had renounced Rome's primacy for geographical, political, linguistic, and doctrinal reasons.Nestorian was not the name by which the church knew itself, nor was it so commonly designated in Asian lands.…
