"church history"
Taken from an advertisement from a certain church in the local newspaper: "This class will outline the history of Protestants from the first-followers of Jesus, through the Reformation and Baptists in the -- area." I'm guessing they refer to the "first-followers" of Jesus referred to in John 6:66: "From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him." ... It is tempting to attend this course and it would be quite entertaining but a) it is on Sunday's during the divine liturgy and 2) it costs $20 - that kind of entertainment isn't worth $20.

I took a Baptist history class in college (it was required). And yes, there is a group of Baptists who believe that there has always been a Baptist-like group of Christians from the beginning.
Most educated Baptists either tend to ignore early Church history or claim that everyone erred in certain points of theology.
At any rate, I hardly consider it entertaining. I usually get very angry.
