The Pilgrim Church introduced me to many peoples, groups of churches and ‘movements’ I had not previously heard of at the time I first read it. As I say though, it is not a database of dry statistics. I’ve learnt through this that many of the ‘unknowns’ not included in ‘popular’ Church histories were actually the true and faithful ones in Christ. As I understand, these people such as, the Waldenses, Albigenses, Lollards and Bogomils (some of their names were given to them by their oppressors) and numerous others are often either overlooked in many Church history books or are painted in a bad light. Throughout the ages the ‘official’ Church refers to them as ‘heretics’ and considers them to be their bane.
