Wikipedia: List of Christian denominations

List of Christian denominations
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

List of Christian denominations ordered by historical and doctrinal relationships. (See also: Christianity; Christianity: Denominations) It should be noted that some denominations are large (eg. Roman Catholic, or Southern Baptist) while others are just a few small churches. It should also be noted that modern movements such as Fundamentalism, Pietism, Evangelicalism, Pentecostalism and the Holiness movement can either divide to make new denominations or blur denominational lines to bring groups together.
