Brothers,
I have the priviledge of conferencing each Friday with Bishop Mikler and Boyd Morris. The relational fellowship is edifying and the conversation is theologically invigorating.
As an introduction to Boyd, you guys will certainly be edified by this excerpt from a message where he advocates Christendom over the religion of Christianity.
Boyd Morris is an ordained presbyter of the BASILEIA ABBEY, a regional community of the BASILEIA ALLIANCE.The mission of the Alliance is to heavenize earth by replacing the fallen world system with the kingdom of God.

"Jesus did not preach Christianity. He preached the kingdom of God. The apostles did not preach Christianity either.They also preached the kingdom of God. The apostolic Church of the first three centuries did not preach Christianity, but gave rise to an alternative form of civilization called Christendom, right in the middle of the RomanEmpire, much to the consternation of most of Rome’s Emperors.
Nor did the Celtic Church of the fifth through the eighth centuries preach Christianity, but instead formed the first expression of Christian culture, that is, Christendom, outside of the Roman Empire. Examples could be multiplied, but they all in the end illustrate one point: Jesus did not give His flesh “for the life of the world” to start a religion called Christianity."
