The Christian Faith was born in the midst of a Pluralistic ancient world. The Roman world was characterized by the worship of various gods and goddesses. There were many Mystery Religions! Some Roman rulers demanded worship as a god. Followers of the Lord Jesus Christ were referred to as the Way (Acts 22:4; 24:22), the Sect of the Nazarenes (Acts 24:5), and finally Christians (Acts 11:26). The emerging “new age” spirituality is a return to a form of First Century conditions where Pluralism was dominant and Christians were a struggling minority facing persecution for their Exclusivist belief in the Lord Jesus Christ as the only Savior and Lord (John 14:6; Acts 4:12; 1 Timothy 2:5; Revelation 1:5). This ministry recognizes that the social and legal status of Christians is rapidly changing and is dedicated to assisting believers in functioning effectively in a Pluralistic society.
