Old talk[edit]

I would like to flush this out more, make it more like the Trinity page. h Any objections? Jasoninkid 4/16/2006

Typedr, if you're reading this: The reference to "Weeks, G., Chapter Thirty-Two" doesn't make much sense to me. Chapter 32 of what? Or is it a book called "Chapter Thirty-Two"? A bit of browsing on the Apostolic Church's web site finds a history by Gordon Weeks, but it isn't divided into chapters and doesn't have enough pages to be what you're referring to. Could you clarify these references, please? (While you're at it, you might want to check whether 216.138.124.122's interpolation into Turnbull's statement of the church's purpose is a correction or an error.)

External Links[edit]

It has rightly been noted that the external links do not really provide encyclopaedic quality. Wikipedia is not meant to be a links directory. The national links do however provide for further research and are not available elsewhere in one collection. I have the same collection on my own church website, The Christian Centre. Is it acceptable to link to this as further research? Site also contains a longer and more exhaustive history of the denomination. Have previously avoided linking to my own site as it might appear as self-promotion.

Does anyone have photos that can be added, especially historical ones?

External Links Update[edit]

Okay, I've sorted out the external links, reducing it to 3 links that point to:

  1. The Apostolic Worldwide
  2. Apostolic Church - DMOZ
  3. Actionoverseas

Decided to sign-up to DMOZ and expand the Apostolic Church category as a means of collecting various national links together.

Does anyone have photos that can be added, especially historical ones?

Also, most of the history is taken from "The origins of the Apostolic Church in Great Britain" (ISBN 0 473 015005). I no longer have a copy of this book (just notes I made). If anyone out there has a copy and is willing to add references, that would be great. It is a very difficult book to get hold of

So the apostolic church is just like the pentecostal church? /they believe in the same thing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.229.11.157 (talk) 04:12, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nigeria[edit]

A section on Nigeria has been removed with the statement of grounds that the Apostolic Church of Nigeria is unrelated. Sarcelles (talk) 18:16, 23 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Excessive External links Comment[edit]

The article subject is about a church, with headquarters at Penygroes, Dyted, and South Wales. All the other additions in the "External links", other than the parent article official page, are just Indiscriminate listings. Even if the churches are affiliated or otherwise associated, most of them have links. It does not matter that they have "something unique", that is covered in the appropriate article. If information is important to the article it should be included. -- Otr500 (talk) 03:51, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Removed excessive links per WP:ELMIN. Disputed links should be discussed before adding more than a couple of relevant links back. -- Otr500 (talk) 12:12, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Unidentifiable sources[edit]

I cannont find any information on the following two sources:

  • Constitution of the Apostolic Church
  • Apostolic Church Presbytery Reports. Penygroes: The Apostolic Church. 1919.

I cannot find any proof online that those sources even exist. Unless information allowing the clear identification of those sources are given, I will removed them and the information they support, as per WP:V. Veverve (talk) 13:13, 12 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
