Yes that's the word. Multiply. Not divide. And there's more than one Christian meeting going in New York City. What a concept.

And where did the name "Christian" come from? People needed to identify those following Jesus Christ. Another shocker.

Conversely, look at the machinations needed to avoid "taking a name". Take the "Chinese-speaking meeting", for example. Who speaks Chinese? The Chinese! But don't say the "Chinese meeting" because that would be secratian division along ethnic lines, and there are no longer Jews nor Greeks nor Chinese. So we can't say that!

How about "the brother of 3 capital letters, the first of which is round in shape"? Um, how about OBW instead. Yes it's a name; given so that I may distinguish one poster from another. It's okay. Really. No, really; it's okay.
