"43,000 Different Christians"
Sunday, March 1st, 2020 - Sunday Sermon by Rev. Patricia Guthmann Haresch -
So often we use the term âChristianâ in a monolithic way, suggesting it refers to a uniform set of beliefs and practices. A few years ago when Rev. Pat searched the internet asking the question, âhow many different kinds of Christians are there?â, the answer was 33,820. The most recent study from the Center for the Study of Global Christianity at Gordon Conwell puts the number of Christian denominations and sects at 43,000. What is a "good" definition for the word Christian and where might Unitarians and Universalists fit into the spectrum?
