It's helpful to gain a better understanding of the Christians and churches who lived and ministered in Rome during the first century A.D.

The first part of an early Christian worship assembly was open to all, including strangers, who might be converted by the preaching.

Christianity began in the Roman Empire. When Christianity was new, Christians were hunted as criminals. They refused to worship Roman gods and that was against the law.

Today, the prevailing modern conception of the relationship between the Roman state and the Christians is that a number of emperors, including Nero and Marcus Aurelius, were responsible for introducing policies of persecution. (See Quo Vadis video)

The spread of Christianity was made a lot easier by the efficiency of the Roman Empire, but its principles were sometimes misunderstood and membership of the sect could be dangerous.
