The denomination\u2019s name confused people, and the church sought to change it and to clarify who it was as a Christian denomination. This live event will examine the dialogue that surrounded the 1908 Annual Conference, how the denomination came to be known as the Church of the Brethren, and what that name change meant over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The event is scheduled for tomorrow, Tuesday, Sept. 21, at 11 a.m. (Eastern time) at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/2888704494724614\"
