It's a rule as old as the hills. If you're going to have a Christian lobby, pressure group, think tank or get-together of
likeminded souls, you need to give it a two-word name.
The rule says - the first word is some kind of adjective - normally a verbal adjective like "Condescending", although it could be another kind such as "Anglican" or "Evangelicals".
The second word is a kind of tortured noun - normally an abstract one but sometimes it's an adjective that's been nounified, like "Evangelicals".
Put them together and what do you get? You get a brand new Christian pressure group. Note - before using this actual name,check. There's a 50:50 chance it already exists.

So far tody I've had to answer the door to the Seventh Day Parsee Faith, the Salvation Confucianist Heresy and the Hari Taoist League.
