Home›Pseudepigrapha›TraditionBrowse ByTraditionThis page groups scripture texts by the tradition that treats them as central. Wikipedia notes that in some non-theistic religions "such as some Indian religions they are considered to be the central tenets of their eternal Dharma," a different basis for sacredness than divine revelation. Browsing by tradition lets a visitor read every text central to one religion together.FactsTraditionSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsDirectoryCategoryWell-attestedScriptures & Texts 1TraditionFilter Results7 entriesAdherents Today MaximumAll110,000,000 (1)Adherents Today MinimumAll80,000,000 (1)Basis of the Membership FigureAllChurch-Reported Rolls (4)Independent Survey (3)National Census (3)Scholarly or Demographic Estimate (1)Basis of the Wealth FigureAllAudited Annual Report (3)The Body's Own Published Statistics (1)Church FamilyAllAnglican (5)Oriental Orthodox (2)Date of Separation End YearAll1571 (1)Date of Separation Start YearAll451 (1)1534 (2)1993 (1)Defining Doctrinal PositionAllChalcedonian: two natures in the one person of Christ (Chalcedon, 451) (1)Chalcedonian: two natures in the one person of Christ (Chalcedon, 451) (4)Miaphysite: one incarnate nature of the Word, divine and human united (2)Rejects the Filioque: the Spirit proceeds from the Father (1)Trinitarian: one God in three persons (1)Trinitarian: one God in three persons (4)Documented Accused CountAll390 (1)GovernanceAllA federation of autonomous member organisations (2)Episcopal: governed by bishops (4)Self-governing churches under patriarchs, deciding in synod (2)Synodal: governed by synods of clergy and lay delegates (1)How the Expectation Is EnforcedAllCustomary Norm (1)Preached Expectation, Not Enforced (3)Liturgical LanguageAllGeez (2)The vernacular (5)Membership Figure As OfAll1970-01-01 (1)2007-01-01 (1)2010-01-01 (3)2011-01-01 (1)2014-01-01 (1)2015-01-01 (1)2016-01-01 (1)2016-12-31 (1)2018-01-01 (1)2019-01-01 (1)2021-01-01 (1)2021-03-21 (1)2022-01-01 (2)2023-01-01 (1)2023-12-31 (1)2024-01-01 (1)2024-12-31 (1)2026-08-16 (1)OrdinationAllMarried clergy permitted (2)Open to women and men (3)Restricted to men (1)Varies between provinces or member bodies (2)Origin Period End YearAll340 (2)1559 (1)1571 (1)1789 (1)1867 (1)Origin Period Start YearAll320 (2)1534 (3)1789 (1)Position on JustificationAllFaith Alone (1)No Communion Wide Standard (1)Position on MarriageAllNo single uniform teaching on marriage's terms holds across the body (1)Position on PredestinationAllElection Affirmed Reprobation Unstated (1)Unsettled (1)Position on SexualityAllSame-sex marriage is performed and LGBT clergy are ordained on equal terms with heterosexual clergy (1)Same-sex unions may be blessed, but ordination is not extended to partnered LGBT clergy (1)The body holds no single settled position; the question is actively and openly contested within it (2)Position on the EucharistAllNo Communion Wide Definition (1)Spiritual Reception by Faith (1)Principle of WorshipAllNormative (2)Relation to the StateAllDisestablished (3)Established (1)No Establishment (1)Varies by Province (2)Sacraments RecognisedAllTwo (2)Settlement TotalAll137,300,000 (1)Standard Rate ExpectedAllFive percent.
