Church History (G.G.)... Have you ever wondered why people are so intent on knowing which particular "brand" of Christianity a person belongs to? Have you ever wondered why there are so many Christian denominations? Although there is only one universal Christian Church, it is clear that there are hundreds of Christian denominations or churches. These denominations have formed and divided since the time of Christ, because Christians have had differences in beliefs and practices. Today, they can be grouped into 6 main groups, with some amount of overlap

Christianity Today Christianity is the world's most widely practiced religion, with around 2 billion adherents (followed by Islam with 1.3 billion, Hinduism with 841 million, and the non-religious with 774 million). Christianity has many branches, including 1.1 billion Roman Catholics, 450 million Protestants in a number of traditions, 200 million Orthodox and 400 million independent denominations (unaffiliated with the major streams of Christianity). But despite this diversity, Christians are united in Christ. Today, the Christian church faces many issues. There is still a great number of people who have not heard the good news of Jesus. Christians around the world are involved in missionary work to bring men and women to Christ as commanded by Jesus in the Great Commission. At the same time, billions of people live in terrible poverty without clean water or the opportunity for good health. If we are to truly follow in the footsteps of Jesus, then these are issues that should be close to our heart too. In the West, issues to do with the role of women in the church and marriage and sexuality have come to forefront in recent years, and have the potential to split congregations.
