Early Church Principles for a Modern World

The COTACF...

Church of the Ancient Christian Faith
http://www.cotacf.org

The COTACF is a network of believers that are observers of the Early Christian Church as it was prior to the Nicaean and Constantinian era and the establishment of Christianity as a state religion.

Who are we?
We are a group of Christians that look to the testimony of the early Christian Church, as it was before the time of Emperor Constantine, and the before the Christian faith was transformed into a ‘state religion’.

What are we?
We are individuals, communities, and home and traditional church based fellowships, that have joined together to form a network of like minded believers for mutual support, practice, and teaching of the ways of the Christ.

Why are we?
Because each individual has found a desire and need to return to “The Way”, that is, the path of the early Christian believers of the first three centuries of our common era as put forth by our Lord, Master and Savior, Jesus Christ. We come together to share knowledge, to support each other as much as we can, to form small groups and locally based communities, and teach others about the true Christian Faith.

How do we do this?
By making the best use of communication based technology, the internet, historical archives, and the age old proven method, ‘word of mouth’, and by “walking the walk’, not just talking the talk.

Hello Brother Greg, Interesting points all around. Like you, I'm more of a "I'm in, Ante Up" kinda guy. I'm not afraid to "be that guy" and ask the questions we need to be addressing. As for accusations, I didn't accuse anyone of anything; I stat...

Bro. Joshua, I don't know about you, but in my humble experience the topic of "Schism" has never been well received, especially when the opening salvo begins with the accusation ( implied or otherwise ) that one of the participants is in fact in ...

Bro Joshua, Your statement "none of the Ante-Nicene authors appear to have anticipated their writings to be used as any more than a witness to Apostolic Tradition", is exactly how I see them, as a witness to Apostolic Tradition. The divide betwee...
