New page for The Church of Jesus Christ.

[edit] Probably will require a disambiguation

Just so you're on notice, this page will probably require to be moved to make way for a disambiguation page. Most people searching for "Evangelist" will not be looking for the Community of Christ office or The Church of Jesus Christ office. Check the list of "What links here" and you'll see that most of the links now linking here have nothing to do with this topic. It will probably be best to rename this and then have links here to the renamed article, to Evangelism and to Presiding Patriarch, as well as to any other similar articles.

[edit] Use of -(Bickertonite) clarification

The rationale for using "The Church of Jesus Christ (Bickertonite)" in the bulleted point about the Quorum of Seventy Apostles is that without having The Church of Jesus Christ wiki-linked, the name is fairly ambiguous. Why not link "The Church of Jesus Christ"? See WP:Disambiguation#Usage_guidelines:

• Each bulleted entry should, in almost every case, have exactly one navigable (blue) link; including more than one link can confuse the reader

I don't think resolving the issue of ambiguity is a good enough reason to depart from this general rule when it can easily be resolved by the -(Bickertonite) disambiguator. And yes, I realise that members of this church dislike the term—but it is in common usage outside of the church as a means of disambiguating between other churches with similar names.
