Eureka Classis
On June 7, 1911, seven ministers and sixteen congregations organized to form the Eureka Classis. The name of the Classis came from the Greek word ‘eureka’ which means ‘I found it’ and not on the town Eureka, South Dakota, where the second meeting of the Classis would be held. The name was designed to mean that they had found a solution to their doctrinal problems with the rest of the denomination.
Braccae
The word is cognate with the English "breeches". It appears to derive from the Indo-European root *"bhrg"- 'break', here apparently used in the sense 'divide', 'separate', as in Scottish Gaelic or in Breton and in Welsh. The Celtic form may have first passed to the Etruscans, who did not distinguish between the "c" and "g" sounds. Transition through the Etruscans accounts for the Greek being rendered as Latin , Greek () as Latin .
