What is the Church of Christ?

Here's how the 1970 Encyclopedia Britannica answers the question:  "Each church is known locally as a Church of Christ and its members as Christians.  ..Originated on Pentecost in Jerusalem, A.D. 30, and to be identified with New Testament churches in origin, doctrine and practice.  Sunday worship consists of unaccompanied, congregational singing, prayer, teaching, preaching, giving and the Lord's Supper. There are other worship and teaching services on appointed days during the week.  The Churches of Christ have no creed in the sense of a humanly formulated statement containing official articles of faith. They believe in the manifestation of God in Christ, and in the all-sufficiency of the Bible with the primacy of the New Testament, as the revelation of the will of God, and the only rule of faith and practice.  They continue to advocate the restoration of New Testament Christianity. They believe that the word of God is the seed of the church, and when received, it produces ..as it did in New Testament times."
