- A well established religious organisation
- Troeltsch - church refers to a large religious organisation
- churches usually have four main features:
1. claim of a monopoly over the truth
2. A complex and rigid hierarchy
3. A close relationship to the state
4. Are closely intergrated into mainstream society
- Bruce - Troetlsch's points dont always apply to todays churches beauces there is religious pluralism
