Church of the East: A Holy Kiss in Chicago #shorts

Lesson Transcript

One of the ones that sticks in my mind is the Church of the East, the ancient church that was established in the Persian Empire, is still around today. Their largest church in the United States is in Chicago. They have a huge church there. I attended there one Sunday, and during the service, after some of the prayers were concluded, everyone greeted one another with a holy kiss. Now, the people there were mainly from Iraq and other countries in the Mid East. It was a very ethnic-centered group of people there.

It wasn't a general group of, let's say, regular American citizens from European background or South American background or anything like that. Join us in earnestly contending for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints.
