This episode traces the historical relationship and evolution of the church and what has come to be known as the parachurch. It highlights that ministries serving needs outside of traditional worship services, though the term "parachurch" is modern, have existed since the early days of Christianity, citing examples like Benedictine monasteries providing social services. The sources explore how major historical periods, including the Apostolic Age, the Reformation, the Enlightenment, and the Great Awakenings, influenced the development of different ministry structures. It notes that technological advancements and shifting theological perspectives in the 20th century spurred a significant rise in parachurch organizations and the emergence of large, functionally non-denominational churches. The text concludes by examining the complex and sometimes tense relationship between institutional churches and these external ministries throughout history and into the present day.
