| The Waldensian Movement From Waldo to the Reformation |
This movement suffered bitter persecution at the hands of the established church mainly for the "sin" of translating the Bible into the vernacular and presuming to use their gifts and ministries. |

| Watchman Nee and the House Church Movement in China |
Nee is little known in the west, mainly because his "interpreters" have put their own slant on his teachings. Meanwhile, house churches in China have reached millions in the past fifty years at a time when the church in the West has been stagnant. |
