This article is nothing more than a collection of mismatched sentences. It looks like it was written by a committee who had no contact or knowledge of one another. It is fatally confused.

Looking at it, as a writing teacher, sentence by sentence:

• An ecclesia is defined in the original Greek as "the church" (called out or chosen ones), or the body of Christ. - OK

• It symbolically connotates the diverse tapestry of those who confess Jesus Christ as one and the same with God the Creator and Master of the Universe. - pretentious sentence

• It has nothing to do with religious denominations, the sect and the cult. - why not?

• It does not necessarily correspond to dominant social and political culture. - what does this mean?

• More often than not is misunderstood to be a counter society, but has inherently wrapped in it's doctrine the best long term results for the world. - what in the world does this mean?

• Misunderstanding has long led tyrants, demogogues and Charlatins in various ages to persecute the ecclesia wherever they are from East to West. - broad unsupported generalization

• The state churches are often counter to ecclesias by mere factors of struggles of power and other distractions from the main mission of the ecclesia. - unsupported opinion

• Leadership falls to misguided information or bold face contempt for the teachings of Jesus Christ. - meaningless and unsupported opinion.

• This is opposite the servant leadership style Jesus Christ taught. - what is opposite? vague, vague

• Though they [who?] need not be: a state church by definition has official legal recognition of its role in the society, while an ecclesia might not. - Yes, this last part is a fact

Much better now. Perhaps the article could be expanded? --Halcatalyst 05:14, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
