Inside Christian Denominations

Denominations Explained (Family Tree) How the Christian family tree fits together: the major traditions and denominations, where they came from and how they are organized today. Which Church Fits Me? Choosing a church home: church shopping and hopping, what people look for in a congregation, and trends in church attendance and membership. Catholic, Protestant & Orthodox Compared Catholics, Protestants and Orthodox side by side: how the three great traditions differ, where they agree, and how they meet and argue today. Denominations Side by Side Protestant denominations side by side: Baptists, Pentecostals and evangelicals next to Methodists, Lutherans, Presbyterians and Anglicans. Beliefs Compared Christian beliefs compared across traditions: baptism, communion, salvation, scripture and authority, and the doctrines that divide and unite churches. Church Splits & Realignments Church splits and realignments: congregations leaving denominations, new church bodies, schisms over doctrine and sexuality, and fights over property. Switching Denominations Christians who change churches: converts to Catholicism and Orthodoxy, evangelicals who become Anglican, and the stories behind moving from one tradition to another. Christian Unity (Ecumenism) Christian unity and ecumenism: dialogue between churches, joint prayer and declarations, the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity and the 1,700th anniversary of Nicaea. Mainline Protestants Mainline Protestant churches - Methodist, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Episcopal, United Church of Christ and others - and their decline, renewal and public voice.

Amish, Mennonites & Quakers Anabaptist and peace churches: Amish, Mennonite, Brethren, Hutterite and Quaker communities, their plain ways, service work and news. Messianic Judaism & Hebrew Roots Messianic Jews who follow Jesus as Messiah, the Hebrew Roots movement and Christians exploring the Jewish roots of their faith. Latter-day Saints The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the wider Latter Day Saint movement: leaders, temples, general conference, missionaries and news.
