On the one hand
there are the established churches who can claim many millions of
members and on the other hand there are a large number of believers who
worship separately and whose beliefs differ widely from those of other
communities. There have been moves on the part of some church
authorities to press for closer ties, for example between the Protestant Church of
England and the Church of Rome, but in general the Christian world is a
very divided one.
The Dawn Christadelphians have many concerns about
the errors in both the beliefs and practices of
the established churches. We accept only the authority of the Bible as the
Word of the Living God as our guide for life, and have tried to reach
back into the very start of Christianity in an effort to recover the
simplicity of the original faith as recorded in the Bible.
The aim of this web site is to show why we believe
and try to follow first century Christianity. It is our hope that you,
the reader will think about the message of the Bible and to compare your
beliefs with those of Christ and the disciples. Then having done this,
judge for yourself
what the true message of the Bible is. The Bible is the only true and
authoritative
source that can enable us to decide truth from error.
Dawn Christadelphians are often asked about the name of
the community to whom they belong:
-
What does Christadelphian mean?
-
Why are you separated from all other church
groups?
-
What is so special about your beliefs?
We hope that this site will help to answer these and other related
questions.
During the last century many new small religious
sects sprang up with new ideas and doctrines. However, this was not the
case with the Christadelphians. The name admittedly was new, but their
beliefs and doctrines were not. The Dawn Christadelphians were, and still are, dedicated to a
revival of the first century church.
