I believe the churches were birthed in the ages. As I believe all these churches are Christian churches I do not mind to visit or read into them...
Ephesus - Messianic
Smyna - Martyr
Pregamos - Orthodox - Pergos is a tower, needed in the dark ages
Thyatira - Catholic - Took form with Constantine
Sardis - Protestant - Took form with Martin Luther
Philadelphia - Revived - Non-Violent with men like John Bunyan.
Laodicean - Mainly independent churches birthed post 1900
It is interesting as we come out of Post-Covid that the dress standard is much more relaxed. I have visited all kinds of churches and shorts are more and more accepted. I went to a Holiness camp meeting back in 2019 and saw an old gentleman there with shorts. Now, I would not want anything said to the guy and would just smile a little if I were to greet him. But this is a growing trend these days. This is something that I did not see in church until here recently.
