1. The Church

   The Church is an Australian alternative rock band formed in Canberra in 1980. Initially associated with new wave and the neo-psychedelic sound of the mid-1980s, their music later became more reminiscent of progressive rock, featuring long instrumental jams and complex guitar interplay. Founding members are Steve Kilbey on lead vocals and bass guitar, and Peter Koppes and Marty Willson-Piper on guitars. Drummer Nick Ward played only on their first album; through the 1980s the band's stable drummer for eight years was Richard Ploog, who left the band after Gold Afternoon Fix. Jay Dee Daugherty played drums for the band 1990-1994, after which Tim Powles became the longest-serving drummer; having played with the band, since 1996 he has now been a member for 18 years. Three of the members recorded material as The Refo:mation in 1997. The Church's debut album, Of Skins and Heart, delivered their first radio hit "The Unguarded Moment". They were signed to major labels in Australia, Europe and the United States. However, the US label was dissatisfied with their second album and dropped the band without releasing it. This put a dent in their international success, but they returned to the charts in 1988, with the album Starfish and the US Top 40 hit "Under the Milky Way". Subsequent commercial success proved elusive, however, and the band weathered several line-up changes in the early 1990s. The last decade has seen them settle on their current line-up. On 27 October 2010, The Church were inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in Sydney.

Examples of the church in a Sentence

1. Cardinal Marx:

   Files that could have documented the terrible deeds and named those responsible were destroyed or not even created, the stipulated procedures and processes for the prosecution offenses were deliberately not complied with... such standard practices will make it clear that it is not transparency which damages Catholic Church, but rather the acts of abuse committed, the lack of transparency, or the ensuing coverup.

2. Paul Witkowski:

   The homecoming back to Liquid Church and reuniting with his buddy Katy Herridge was surreal after a 15-month pause. It is his favorite place in the whole world because it’s a church that makes a way for him in such a wildly loving and accepting way, to see Grady and Katy reunited in such a beautiful [way] was epic! I feel like we get a little taste of heaven on Sunday morning in the form of acceptance and inclusion.

3. Tim Miller:

   Violence directed against the church has been growing over the past decade, my fear is what we saw in Charleston is one incident of many more to come.

4. Robert Gahl:

   Certainly the Catholic Church has never accepted passivism, the proper response of the Christian goes beyond turning the other cheek, which is an invitation to hit me again. The Christian response is more complex.

5. Gerry Dunegan:

   This church came about because I prayed for five years.
