Just wondering if the church you attend or the ones in your area are named after saints, if so, which ones?
Or it could be hospitals or schools or suburbs.
Do you think its ok to name churches after saints, esp if they not in the Bible?
I'm recalling the scripture about some people calling themselves after Paul, and some after Apollos. But we all meant to be after Jesus. There doesn't seem to be any 'St Jesus' churches. Why?
In my area - churches-
St Giles (not sure who he is)
St Andrews ( many anglican and presy churches)
St Michaels
St Mary's (tend to be catholic)
St Mark
St Matthew
suburbs
St Lukes
St John
St Helier's (who is?)
ambulance service
St John
Hospital
St Helens (I don't recall a Helen in the Bible)
Days
St Patrick
St Valentines
generous people
St Nicholas
St Vincent
baptists and brethren churches are mostly named after their area. Then there's all kinds of colourful church names like 'Fusion' 'Church unlimited' 'youthlink' 'faith factory' 'Potter's House' etc.
