Christian Denominations - Chart

This is an accompaniment material for the 5-series brief history of Christian denominations. As a very complex subject, readers are advised of the limitation of the scope of this chart. For instance, the Episcopal church, although significant both in size and theology, is now listed on the map due to its closeness to both the teaching and governance of the Church of England.

Another example of the limitation is to properly classify sub-categories like the 7th Adventists. While it primarily originated from "The Millierism movement" , with William Miller being of Baptist affiliation, Ellen G. White on the other, who later became best known as the co-founder of the adventism movement with significant influence of its teachings, came from Methodist church.

In some cases, there are sub-categories that fit in more than one main current, while some others are simply not significant enough in mainstream Christianity to be included on the map. However, we will make an effort through the various presentations to cover as many areas as possible in ways that make sense to the reader to follow along easily regardless of the inherent complexity of the subject.
