Yay tables It comes from a slight American angle, but a nice handy tool nonetheless.

"A slight American angle" from a half-British poster (Lancashire). Does that help? LOL!!

God bless and, well, Cheers!!

 

[Mr Dave]

Much better thanks

Although your posts say you're in New England, which begs the question, why would you leave the beauty of Lancashire for New England Although if we go down that road I fear the thread may become derailed and go ever so slightly off topic.


Thanks for the tables

Oops! I was unclear, sorry! I have never had the pleasure of being there. My Grandmother was born in Lancashire along with her siblings. (But the two large pictures in my living room and DR wallpaper are of English country cottages.) England is definitely in my DNA! (I even strongly resemble my Grandmother's side the most.)

Confession: I love the Doc Martin show and that little village by the sea ...

I'm happy you like the tables and even happier to have made your 'virtual' acquaintance.

God bless!

Belorus, Ukraine, Ethiopia, Eritrea and Uganda should be all "Mostly Orthodox"... as well as a sizable chunk of Manitoba.

This is probably the most unbiased denominational division chart I've seen. Most will start with either the Catholic Church or the Orthodox Church as "the original Church" and have the other one branch off at 1054.

 

[Mr Dave]

Yeah it's a good chart

If Jesus made a chart, would it technically be "biased" toward what Church he actually founded?

It'd probably be biased towards the Body of Christ seen as that's what he's the head of. Just sayin'

That's what MrPolo just said.

 

[MrPolo]

See I don't think a "true" chart is "biased." It's true.

 

[Mr Dave]

Apologies

Well as far as I'm concerned, charts that start with the Catholic Church as the root are true. But if it's being completely objective then the chart in the OP is about as good as it will get.

Well if it was of the "Denomination He founded", then the chart would be totally blank. And since there's only ONE "Church/Body of Christ" then there'd only be one color - wherever Christians are found.
