'''[[w:Eastern Orthodox Church]]''', officially the '''Orthodox Catholic Church''', is the second-largest Christian church, with approximately '''220 million''' baptised members, It operates as a [[w:Koinonia|communion]] of [[w:Autocephaly|autocephalous]] churches, each governed by its bishops in local [[w:Holy Synod|synod]]s. Roughly half of Eastern Orthodox Christians live in Russia. The church has no central doctrinal or governmental authority analogous to the [[w:bishop of Rome]], but the [[w:Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople]] is recognised by all as [[w:primus inter pares]] ("first among equals") of the bishops.

With the exception of the [[w:Orthodox Church of Greece (Holy Synod in Resistance)]], they will commune the faithful from all the canonical jurisdictions and are recognized by and in communion with the [[w:Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia]].
 
Due in part to the re-establishment of official ties between the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia and the Moscow Patriarchate, the ''Orthodox Church of Greece (Holy Synod in Resistance)'' has broken ecclesial communion with ROCOR, but the converse has not happened. Where the Old Calendar Romanian and Bulgarian churches stand on the matter is as yet unclear.

==== Churches that voluntarily stay outside any communion ====
These Churches do not practice [[w:Full Communion|Communion]] with any other Orthodox jurisdictions nor do they tend to recognize each other. Yet, like the ''Churches in resistance'' above, they consider themselves to be within the canonical boundaries of the Church: i.e., professing Orthodox belief, retaining what they believe to be legitimate [[w:apostolic succession]], and existing in communities with historical continuity. Nevertheless, their relationship with all other Orthodox Churches remains unclear, as Orthodox Churches normally recognize and are recognized by others.

== Protestantism ==
 
'''[[w:Protestantism|Protestantism]]'''  is the second-largest form of Christianity with a total of '''800 million''' to '''1 billion''' adherents worldwide or about 37% of all Christians. It originated with the 16th century [[w:Reformation]], a movement against what its followers perceived to be [[w:Criticism of the Catholic Church|errors]] in the [[#Catholic Church]]. Protestants reject the Roman Catholic doctrine of [[w:papal supremacy]] and [[w:sacraments in the Catholic Church|sacraments]], but disagree among themselves regarding the [[w:real presence of Christ in the Eucharist|real presence]] of [[w:Jesus in Christianity|Christ]] in the [[w:Eucharist]] and matters of [[w:church polity]] and [[w:apostolic succession]]. They emphasize the [[w:priesthood of all believers]], [[w:sola fide|justification by faith alone]] (''sola fide'') rather than also by [[w:good works]], and the highest authority of the [[w:Bible]] alone (rather than also with [[w:sacred tradition]]) in faith and [[w:Christian ethics|morals]] (''[[w:sola scriptura]]''). (Wikipedia on [[w:protestantism]] definition on 2020-08-09)
 
Protestantism includes many groups which do not share any ecclesiastical governance and have widely diverging beliefs and practices. Major Protestant denominations include

=== Adventism ===
 
'''[[w:Adventism|Adventism]]''' is a branch of [[w:Protestant]] [[w:Christianity]]<ref name="Handbook">{{cite book |section=Adventist and Sabbatarian (Hebraic) Churches |pages=256–76 |first1=Frank S |last1=Mead |first2=Samuel S |last2=Hill |first3=Craig D |last3=Atwood |title=Handbook of Denominations in the United States |edition=12th |place=Nashville |publisher=Abingdon Press}}</ref> that believes in the imminent [[w:Second Coming of Christ|Second Coming (or "Second Advent") of Jesus Christ]]. It originated in the 1830s in the [[w:United States]] during the [[w:Second Great Awakening]] when [[w:Baptist]] preacher [[w:William Miller (preacher)|William Miller]] first publicly shared his belief that the Second Coming would occur at some point between 1843 and 1844. His followers became known as [[w:Millerism|Millerites]]. After the [[w:Great Disappointment]], the Millerite movement split up and was continued by a number of groups that held different doctrines from one another. These groups, stemming from a common Millerite ancestor, became known collectively as the Adventist movement. (Wikipedia)

Baptist churches also generally subscribe to the [[w:doctrine]]s of [[w:soul competency]] (the responsibility and accountability of every person before [[w:God in Christianity|God]]), ''[[w:sola fide]]'' (salvation by faith alone), ''[[w:sola scriptura]]'' (scripture alone as the rule of faith and practice) and [[w:Congregationalist polity|congregationalist church government]].

Luther's efforts to reform the theology and practice of the church launched the [[w:Protestant Reformation]]. The reaction of the government and church authorities to the international spread of his writings, beginning with the [[w:The 95 Theses|95 Theses]], divided Western Christianity.

* '''[[w:fi:Suomen Ekumeeninen Neuvosto]]''' [https://www.ekumenia.fi ekumenia.fi] (lyh. SEN, Ekumeniska Rådet i Finland, Finnish Ecumenical Council) on [[w:fi:Suomi|Suomessa]] toimivien [[w:fi:kirkko]]jen, [[w:fi:kristinusko|kristillisten]] yhteisöjen ja [[w:fi:seurakunta|seurakuntien]] [[w:fi:ekumenia|ekumeeninen]] yhteistyöelin. Ekumeenisella neuvostolla on 11 jäsenkirkkoa, 5 tarkkailijakirkkoa tai -yhteisöä ja 17 kumppanuusjärjestöä.
 
* '''[[w:fi:Vapaat suunnat]]''' -nimitystä käytetään [[w:fi:protestantismi|protestanttisista]] [[w:fi:kristillisyys|kristillisistä]] liikkeistä, jotka eivät halua muodostaa läheistä suhdetta [[w:fi:valtio|valtioon]], vaan eroa [[w:fi:kirkko|kirkon]] ja valtion välillä pidetään luontevana. [[w:fi:Suomi|Suomessa]] vapaisiin suuntiin kuuluvat muun muassa [[w:fi:baptismi|baptistiyhdyskunnat]], [[w:fi:Helluntaiherätys]], [[w:fi:Suomen Metodistikirkko|Metodistikirkko]], [[w:fi:Suomen Vapaakirkko|Vapaakirkko]], [[w:fi:Suomen Adventtikirkko|Adventtikirkko]], [[w:fi:Raamattu Puhuu]], [[w:fi:Majakka-seurakunta]] ja [[w:fi:Pelastusarmeija]]. Kaikilla vapaisiin suuntiin kuuluvilla liikkeillä on omat opilliset korostuksensa. Pääasiallisesti ne pohjautuvat opillisesti [[w:fi:reformoidut kirkot|reformoituihin]] ja [[w:fi:kalvinismi|kalvinistisiin]] [[w:fi:uskonpuhdistus|uskonpuhdistuksen]] haaroihin. Kuitenkin [[w:fi:arminiolaisuus]] näyttää olevan vahvasti edustettuna esimerkiksi helluntailaisuudessa Suomessa.
