Bishop H. E. Honea

[Sam]

This is something I posted on AFF a couple of years ago

As far as I understand, Bishop Mark Lawson organized and chartered “The Church of Jesus Christ” in 1927. He was Presiding Bishop of that organization for quite some time. I was licensed by them in 1959 when I went to a conference in Charleston, WV.

Over the years there have been splits, fragmentation, etc. Many have left that original group and formed other organizations and quite often they use some form of “Church of Jesus Christ” in their name. I may be wrong about this, but I think one splinter group called themselves “The Assemblies of the Church of Jesus Christ” and they later merged with two other groups called “The Jesus Only Apostolic Church of God” and “The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ” in March 1952 and formed the ALJC (Assemblies of the Lord Jesus Christ).

There is a group called “The Church of Jesus Christ” with headquarters in Kingsport, TN. Their Presiding Bishop or General Overseer is Anthony Adinolfi.Their web site is:

The group you referenced is another group using the name “The Church of Jesus Christ”. Their Presiding Bishop is Jarret Spence in Portage, IN. As you stated in your post. their web site is

There is a group called “The Churches of Jesus Christ International” with headquarters in Cleveland, TN. The Chairman or Presiding Bishop of that group is Boyd Lawson. He is the son of the late Mark Lawson and they claim the 1927 charter date. Their web site is

There is another group called the United Apostolic Church of Jesus Christ which has about 18 churches mostly in Indiana and Kentucky. Their website is

I just called Bishop Boyd Lawson in Cleveland, TN a couple of minutes ago and he had not heard of Bishop Honea's passing. I don't think there was much (if any) fellowship between them. I don't know how far Tullahoma is from Cleveland.

Tullahoma is about an hour south of Nash. And your are correct about "fellowship" from what I have been told. None of the groups fellowship with the others.

yes,
they have the original 1927 charter.
In 1968 it was within 24 hours of expiring and Boyd Lawson paid the renewal fee in both Tennessee and Washington D.C. Then in 1975 Boyd Lawson resigned as chairman of the CoJC. The headquarters of that group are now in Kingsport, TN and Bishop Adinolfi is chairman.
