“It is probable that one cause, humanly speaking, why we
find in the Sacred Books less information concerning the
Christian ministry and the constitution of church
governments than we otherwise might have found, is that
these institutions had less of novelty than some would at
first sight suppose, and that many portions of them did not
wholly originate with the apostles. It appears highly
probable—I might say, morally certain—that, wherever a
Jewish synagogue existed, that was brought, the whole, or
the chief part of it, to embrace the gospel, the apostles did
not there so much form a Christian church (or congregation,
ecclesia,), as make an existing congregation Christian, by
introducing the Christian sacraments and worship, and
establishing whatever regulations were requisite for the
newly-adopted faith; leaving the machinery (if I may so
speak) of government unchanged; the rulers of synagogues,
elders and other officers (whether spiritual or ecclesiastical,
or both) being already provided in the existing institutions.
And it is likely that several of the earliest Christian churches
did originate in this way; that is, that they were converted
synagogues, which became Christian churches as soon as
the members, or the main part of the members,
acknowledged Jesus as the Messiah.
