	EKKLESIA - (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		The group Ekklesia was created originally with the profound idea of being a group of "Colombianistas", interested in studying the country and in feeding their love for Colombia and the will of working for her.
		Ekklesia is a network devoted to the exchange of ideas that tries to link people of a great human value sharing certain common principles, basically intellectual honesty and curiosity.
		At the end of the semester, Ekklesia will assemble its members (virtually if it is not possible physically) and, after a presentation of each member's research, all the work will be gathered together in a compact piece that will be posted in the site and available to any one.

	ekklesia
		Ekklesia is a non-denominational Bible study group chartered with Truman State University, Kirksville, Missouri, and is the campus ministry of churches of Christ.
		Ekklesia does not seek to substitute for church attendance or replace the mission of the Lord's church.
		Ekklesia is the Greek word for "assembly" or "gathering" and denotes a group "called out." Depending on context, the assembly in the New Testament can be characterized as a "mob" or a "church." In ancient Greece, the word also had a judicial meaning and referred to the jury that heard formal grievances.

	The Mistranslation of the Greek Word "Ekklesia" in the English Bible and its Ramifications.
		Its sphere of competence included decisions on suggested changes in the law (which could only be effected by the council of the 400), on appointments to official positions and -- at least in its heyday -- on every important question of internal and external policy (contracts, treaties, war and peace, finance).
		Thus ekklesia, centuries before the translation of the OT and the time of the NT, was clearly characterized as a political phenomenon, repeated according to certain rules and within a certain framework.
		The reason for the meeting was to discuss the problem that they were having with people who were being saved and who were abandoning their idols which was hindering their businesses.

	Body
		In their view the ekklesia is a visible physical organization, instead of an invisible organism, instituted by Christ and left in control of duly authorized leaders here on earth.
		If ekklesia is correctly translated 'called out ones' there will never, among other things, ever be another unregenerate child sprinkled with water in 'baptism' because it is believed that he is a part of the 'called out ones' (the ekklesia) by physical birth.
		The ekklesia as "believers only" and the church as "believers and their children" are two totally different concepts that have far-reaching consequences.

		The ekklesia was thus symbolic of the status of a free people, a people set free from the yoke of the basileia.
		The King’s relationship with the ekklesia is one of trust based upon true reconciliation, an intimate relationship, one in which the subject is not a slave but a citizen, a fellow decision—maker.
		When the ekklesia worships it is the assembly making way for the King, to come and meet with it, to seek advice and counsel, to deliberate, to hold court.

	The Significance Behind the Word Ekklesia
		Whereas “church” is used to translate ekklesia, it is actually a transliteration of an entirely different Greek adjective (kuriakos) which meant “of the Lord” or “belonging to the Lord.” It probably is a shortened form of some such phrase as kuriakos doma or kuriakos oikos (“the Lord’s house”).
		the word ekklesia, throughout the Greek and Hellenistic areas, always retained its reference to the assembly of the polis.” In the ekklesia, every male citizen had “the right to speak and to propose matters for discussion” (women were not allowed to speak at all in the Greek ekklesia).
		In Mt 18:15-20, the ekklesia (18:17) is obligated to render a verdict regarding a brother’s alleged sin, and once again, binding and loosing authority is conferred upon the ekklesia.

		Whatever else the ekklesia may involve, one thing is clear: the ekklesia is not a means to an end.
		Membership in the ekklesia was not an optional fringe benefit of the gospel; it was the goal of the gospel.

		The intent of The Ekklesia Project is to remind the church of its true calling as the real-world community whose primary loyalty is to the Body of Christ, the priorities and practices of Jesus, and the inbreaking Kingdom of God.
		We envision The Ekklesia Project as a means to provide coherence, leadership, and vision to some of the still developing, occasionally inchoate, stirrings of discontent and reappraisal within the Christian community.
		The first fruit of this collaboration, “The Ekklesia Project Invitation,” presents the group’s core convictions on matters of ecclesiology, allegiances, and the social situation of the churches.

	The New Testament Definition of the Church (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		Thus, the word means "the called out ones." However, the English word "church" does not come from ekklesia but from the word kuriakon, which means "dedicated to the Lord." This word was commonly used to refer to a holy place or temple.
		Therefore, the word church is a poor translation of the word ekklesia since it implies a sacred building, or temple.
		A more accurate translation would be "assembly" because the term ekklesia was used to refer to a group of people who had been called out to a meeting.

	The Ekklesia - Part Two - Reisinger
		Actually, the question is not "which of the two concepts of ekklesia is the one spoken of the most often in the NTS?" It is obvious that there is an ekklesia for which Christ died that includes all believers in all ages.
		The ekklesia that includes all of the called out ones is identical to Christ's Body which includes every believer as a living part, it is the true Temple that includes every believer as a living stone.
		Rome saw the ekklesia of Christ as purely a visible organization, or institution, that was the Vicar of the absent Christ.

	Ekklesia
		This passage distinguishes ekklesia from other people who "heard these things." Some people are part of the ekklesia (which Jesus built), and some are not.
		Therefore we conclude that ekklesia is a generic collective noun used to refer to a group of people.
		We could, with accuracy, translate the term ekklesia as "group of people." And Christ's ekklesia is a group of people who hear and follow Him.

	Christ's Ekklesia and The Church Compared (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		We have to differentiate because Christ's ekklesia is not the Church.
		In Strong's Greek Concordance, the word ekklesia (word #1577) is defined as "an assembly," and it's from the word "ek," (word #1537) which means "out of"; and the word "klesis" (word #2821) which means "a calling." So ekklesia means to be called out, and obviously Christ is the one that's calling us out.
		It is found in the Teutonic and Slavonic languages and answers to the derivatives of ekklesia, which are naturally found in the romance languages and by foreign importation elsewhere.
