Organization Question[edit]

If any editors have a chance to rewrite some paragraphs, please read on. The "Modern Theories on the formation of the Great Church" and "In contrast to Jewish Christianity" sections read like lists instead of cohesive paragraphs. I'd like to edit these for better flow, but do not have enough knowledge of the subject to do so myself.Birkentalk (talk) 15:59, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Edits Needed[edit]

Hello all! I noticed some changes needing to be made on this article and thought I'd check in before making any big edits. Overall, I'd like to edit this article for:

Section arrangement (for example, thinking about placing emergence before history)
Spelling and grammar
Sentence phrasing

I'm going to go ahead and edit the first sentence of the article so that the definition is of "Great Church" is clearer.

Original: “The term "Great Church" (Latin ecclesia magna) refers to a concept in the historiography of early Christianity primarily associated with the Roman Catholic account of the history of Christian theology also used by non-Catholic historians. The term generally derives from the rapid growth and structural development of the Church in 180-313CE (around the time of the Ante-Nicene Period), and its claim to universally represent Christianity within the Roman Empire.[1]”

Rewrite: “Great Church” (Latin ecclesia magna) is a concept in from the historiography of early Christianity describing the rapid growth and structural development of the Church in 180-313 CE and its claim to universally represent Christianity. The term is primarily associated with the Roman Catholic account of the history of Christian theology, and is also used by non-Catholic historians.

Please comment if you have opinions/hesitations about these changes! Thanks. Birkentalk (talk) 15:02, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

anglophone[edit]

For my money, both this and 'francophone' should be capitalized, in accordance with the principle of capitalization for names and name-derivatives still observed in English (Pamour (talk) 20:04, 20 April 2014 (UTC)).[reply]
