CHURCH BRIEFS

8A / Friday, October 2, 2010 The Enquirer Journal

The church building is a com-mon sight in America. They come in all shapes and sizes, from traditional churches which hold 30 people to church buildings which you would not recognize as a church and which can seat thousands of people. Yet the first Christians did not gather in church build-ings but in people’s homes. These were known as house churches.

One reason Christians in the first fifty years after Jesus met in homes was monetary: the money collected went to help poorer Christians and to support missionaries and even clergy. As Christianity grew larger, the Roman Empire be-gan persecuting Christians. Therefore Christians were not able to build churches because that would be like putting on a big target and saying “Here we are.” So Christians gathered and held their meetings secret-ly in people’s homes.

Some of the New Testament

books attest to this: From Acts 20:20: “You know that I [Paul] have not hesitated to preach anything that would be helpful to you but have taught you pub-licly and from house to house.” From I Corinthians 16:19: “Aq-uila and Priscilla greet you in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.” And from Philemon 1, 2: “Paul . . . To Phi-lemon . . . and to the church that meets in your home.” [There are others.] Additionally, II and III John may have also been written to house churches.

These house churches var-

ied greatly. It would make sense that Christians would gather at the largest home among the small Christian group, and so Christians gathered at the home of the wealthiest mem-ber. The layout and decoration of the room or rooms varied greatly. They could consist of a simple room with seats or may be larger rooms with benches and frescos, drawings, or etch-ings on the walls.

The ceremonies of Com-munion and Baptism would take place in the rooms by us-ing a table for Communion and a basin or pitcher to sprinkle or pour the water. Baptisms by immersion would have taken place in a river since houses did not have tubs.

The number of house churches in a city would also vary and is unknown. Rome or Corinth or Ephesus could have had a couple of house churches to 100, we just don’t know.

The first actual church building which has been dis-

covered is in Dura-Europos in southeastern Syria and dates from the 230s. It was original-ly a house (and shared walls with surrounding houses) and was made into a church. The church had a number of frescos on the wall: Jesus as a shepherd carrying a sheep (which was the most popular way to represent Jesus before the cross became vogue); Peter and Jesus walking on the wa-ter; and three women, which probably represents the three women at Christ’s tomb (the name “Salome” was painted near one of the women). They are among the earliest pieces of Christian art in existence.

A long table was at one end of the house, probably used for communion, and a pool was in the center, no doubt used as a pool by the previous family and for baptisms by the Christians.

The whole city is amazing-ly preserved for a simple fact: it was a Roman fortress-city built in the desert, and, after it

was conquered by the Persians in 256, it was abandoned. Over time it was covered with sand and the city was not discovered until the 1920s.

The church building itself was preserved for an additional reason: before the Persians at-tacked, the Romans built earth-en fortifications on top of the fortress walls. Part of the forti-fications fell down and covered, you guess it, the church. And so the covered-over church was not discovered by the Persians and plundered but remained covered until the 1920s.

And in a bizarre twist of history, in the 1930s Yale Uni-versity archaeologists dis-mantled part of the church and reconstructed it in the Yale University Art Gallery, where it resides today.
