<p>What is the approximate timeline of the "ancient Roman period"? The earliest archeological discovery of a structure believed to have been devoted to Christian worship is at Dura Europos on the Euphrates River in modern Syria (according to ChurchHistory.net).

<p>We know persecution of the Church until Constantine's reign hindered the construction of church buildings in the Roman Empire. We know that for nearly the first two centuries, for example, the church was meeting clandestinely by necessity. So, I do wonder when and why Christians began to use dedicated edifices for worship. But this is far afield from the original subject of this thread. Perhaps I can post this question separately, if anyone is interested in exploring it.</p> No, the "Apostolic Age" didn'…tag:abcpreachers.ning.com,2011-11-30:916966:Comment:27717082011-11-30T00:08:13.765ZMaurice Edwardshttp://abcpreachers.ning.com/profile/PastorMauriceDEdwards
<p>No, the "Apostolic Age" didn't have denomonations. During the "Ancient Roman Period" and thereafter, Christians began to build meeting places (dedicated edifices), and the styles evolved. From the Atrium, to the Basilica, to the Mausoleum, and so on. Today's temples, churches, are fine. They have evolved with technology. So I guess my answer is... we don't have to look to mirror a model from the early church. Just continue to maintain a meeting place for the saints to assemble, worship, and…</p>

<p>Of course, believers were driven out of the temple by the persecution in Jerusalem in less than a generation. I guess my point is that the early church not only hadn't any denominations... it hadn't any dedicated edifices either. To what extent should the early church be the model for today's church?</p>

<p>As far as that goes, a <em>house church</em> is also the biblical model. Are you following that pattern?</p>
