Focuses on the first churches before they became the larger and more beautiful churches we have now. We didn't have those big, beautiful churches then. There are many things in this article that represent change. In this article the archaeologist recalls that before the great churches existed, there were domestic churches called domus ecclesiae. During this time, being a Christian was not a popular thing. If a person was caught being a Christian, he would have to suffer. This was another reason why they used house churches because they had to keep a low profile. If they had had large churches then, they would have had to suffer the consequences. For me this article is very important because it represents how things have really changed over time. Things have changed because Christians have those large and beautiful churches that they would not have allowed to have then. Furthermore, every day more and more people become Christians and they don't have to hide it. Christians have been treated badly during this time, but now they are able to be themselves and let people know their situation
