Two by Two

Two by Two's (sometimes called the Two X Two's or 2x2's) is a name given by some outside observers to a certain Christian group. They are sometimes confused with the Cooneyites (after Edward Cooney), however, while Edward Cooney was in fact once a minister in this faith, he later left the group and gathered his own group of followers. The group deliberately assumes no name other than that of Christ, and is thus sometimes referred to as The Church With No Name (or similar). Its members refer to their belief most commonly as the truth and occasionally as the way or the fellowship or the faith. The followers call themselves friends or saints, while the missionaries are termed workers or servants and go about in pairs (hence the term two by two).

Membership and Geographic Spread

One of the interesting aspects of this faith, is the spread and diversity of the social network. Most of the more wealthy western based members will travel frequently, and will go out of their way to meet with the members residing in that country. As a result, there is a well developed social network amongst the members, which may penetrate into some quite obscure (to a western viewpoint) locations.
