The Church
This section looks at the impact that the Christian Israelite Church as
an organisation has had throughout it's history. When the Church
was started religion was very polarised in society and generally members
of non-orthodox denominations were not well regarded. For example
when the members at Sydney, in the fledging Australian colony of New
South Wales, requested a government grant which offered pound for pound
contribution towards the building of churches the government declined to
pay any money as the Church was not amongst the recognised religions of
the day. Over time through efforts of individual members and changing
social values the Church is now recognised as a legitimate Christian
denomination.
