Many churches have a dissolution clause in their constitution, that delineates how to close the activities as a church.
I suppose it depends on where you are, but generally speaking, churches in the U.S. are not federally funded. Baptist churches, and I think all churches, are funded by tithes and gifts from their respective members.
Because all churches lose members every now and then.
That depends on the will's maker. They can leave members out, but it is best to name them as getting nothing rather than leave any doubt.
The feasts are celebrated where ever there are Catholics or members of the Eastern Orthodox churches.
Some, if not most Quakers would describe themselves as Christians today. Most Quaker Churches, if not all are members of The World Council of Churches, which is a Christian organisation.
Jimmy Buffett's family members live all over. He's got a sister named Lulu who owns a line of bars.
Typically this is for an LLC to spell out who owns what. For Example, in a corporation ownership is determined by who owns what shares, if there are 100 shares and you own all of them then you own 100% of the company.In an LLC, owners are referred to as "members" and they own a percentage of the LLC. Since the State does not ask who owns what percent, an llc operating agreement states which members own the percentage(s) of the LLC.
The Episitle (letter) of Jude was not directed to the members of one church in particular, such as Paul's letters were, but was intended to be circulated and read in all churches.
As physical churches, no. But symbolically, yes. Each one of the churches had virtues present, but also sin rampant. All churches today deal with the problems of all seven churches mentioned, some do better than others in certain areas. As saints of God, it is our duty to try to be like Christ in every way, and to support each other along that path. If done properly by all members within a church, the church will have eliminated most, if not all, of the sin within.
Of course!!!! Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called "Mormons") do not live in exlusive communities. They are welcoming to all, and all are invited to their church activities and services.Heber does have many Mormon Church members but there are several who are not church members as well. Many of these are not religious, but there are also Baptist, Jehovahs Witness, and Catholic churches in the city, as well as a Lutheran, Christian Science, and several general Christian and community churches in nearby Park City.
They are not all contemporary. The style of church is not dictated by doctrine, but rather a way for the members of the church to express and present their doctrine. The reasons that many churches choose to have a more contemporary service is because more upbeat music, etc. is more natural for the members to express their love for God (like the language of their heart) and more welcoming to visitors.
as of 2013 All Orthodox churches teach that gay people are sinners, and most will not allow gay people as members unless they are celibate.
