Ecclesiology & the Kingdom of God

A recent discussion with a group of Christian friends prompted my posting of a presentation I first gave in December of '06 and then again in May of '07. My friends and I were discussing the early church and the examples - both good and bad - that the historical church provides Christians today. Was Constantine good for the church - or bad (new poll to follow)? Additionally, I argued my position that the Kingdom of God (on Earth) is found through the Church; in my view - outlined in the presentation - the two are related and roughly equated. I say "roughly equated" because this is still an idea in progress for me and I'm not yet bold enough to state the KOG is the Church...

In any case, the presentation is available online either as an HTML presentation (IE recommended) or for download (.ppt | ~= 2MB). My notes explain the talking points for each slide. Feedback welcome!
