Contrary to Jesus' wish that his followers "may all be one",
Christianity has become, over time, ever more schismatic. This
concise, one-volume dictionary provides information on over a
thousand significant denominations and movements, ranging from the
mainstream historical churches, for example Roman Catholic and
Orthodox, to heretical sects that flourished briefly in the third
or fourth centuries to groups that sprang up around charismatic
leaders in the 19th and 20th centuries.;Alternative names are given
at the end of entries and are cross-referenced in an appendix. Such
groups include the delightfully named 'Body-felt Salvation Church'
in the Torres Strait Islands, with 300 members, and the 'Old
Catholic Orthodox Church,' founded in London by (and apparently
for) the Most Reverend James Bartholomew Banks, "known to his
friends as "Piggy" on account of the happy conjunction of his vast
inherited wealth and his surname". The author approaches what might
in other hands be a dull catalogue with considerable zest and
enjoyment, and the result is a mine of good stories and useful
information.
