Carrabelle, FL -- (SBWire) -- 07/06/2012 --Brother Michael, President of today's Universal Life Church World Headquarters has declared October 17th as the feast day for the founder of the Universal Life Church name in 107 AD, St Ignatius of Antioch (Theophorus). He is responsible for the first known use of the Greek word katholikos, meaning Universal, the origin of the Universal Life Church name. It is from the Greek word katholikos (English translation - "universal") that the word Christian or catholic comes from. When Ignatius wrote the Letter to the Smyrnaeans in about the year 107 and used the word katholikos, he used it as if it were a word already in use to describe the Church.
