Sect to Church

[Gregory Matthews]

Scholars have proposed a typical pattern by which sects transition to a more formal, organized Church.  The following article explores how that issue might apply to the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

What did I read there? 

Maybe I am not smart enough to understand the article.

Is anyone here interested in medieval history or the crusades?

Thank you, my old friend Gregory! I mean, "my longtime friend, Gregory." But, yes, we are both 84, and others our age seem to be pretty old. I'm feeling my way around here on the site. Sometimes I have difficulty signing in, but it is not because the system does not recognize me. Instead, it says someone else has an account with my email address. I changed my password and eventually got in, although I have not yet figured out how to do so reliably--aside from just being persistent. I'm wondering if anyone here is interested in genealogy. More specifically, genealogy as a window on history. I'm finding remarkable connections using the LDS FamilySearch database.
