Schisms that formed new churches?
Joe Morris
Any pointers or info is welcome. Perhaps it could be a FAQ?
What specific Bible verses, interpretations or doctrines caused
people to form these Christian Churches?
Anabaptist
Baptist
Church of the Nazarene
Episcopal
Free Methodist
Methodist
Presbyterian
Reformed Presbyterian Church
Is there a particular point that split the most different groups?
Thanks in advance

I can speak only to one of these denominations, in which I was
raised -- the Methodist Church.
Methodism was the creation of John Wesley in England
in the 1700's. It was not a new denomination, but
an offshoot of Anglicanism. Wesley himself, I understand,
was a devout Anglican, but preached a ministry of
renewal, based around "the Method", which was
a guide to daily living, based on good works,
constant prayer, and Bible study.
In my own hometown (Belleville, Ontario, Canada)
the first Methodist "chapel" opened in 1827.
Methodists of that day were expected to attend
Sunday services at the local Anglican church.
Thereafter, they would retire to the Chapel
for further worship, group Bible study, and
prayer. One of the major ministries of
Belleville's Methodist community was the
founding of one of North America's first
"Sunday schools". Open to all, child and
adult, of any religious denomination, the Sunday
school taught people to read and write. The
only "textbook" was the Bible.
This program was extraordinarily popular, because
no tuition was charged -- this was in the days
before free public education.
By the end of the 19th century, Belleville's
Methodist chapel was sold, and an impressive,
large church was built across the street
from the local Anglican church. The split
had become, over the years, complete,
with the Methodist worship supplanting
worship with the Anglican community.
In fact, the founding convention of "the
Methodist Church of Canada and Bermuda"
was hosted in my home church (Bridge
Street Methodist Church) in the 1870's.
It was not, as I understand it, based on
any doctrinal dispute; it was simply that
the two communities grew apart.

I keep a database of African independent churches. I have something over 500
denominations in the database; for 184 of them I have information about the
denomination they broke away from. The 500 are about 5% of the denominationsd
known to exist.
Here is a brief report, giving the name of the denomination, the name of the
founder, the date it was founded, and the denomination it broke away from. For
some of them more information is available, but I'm sure the moderator would
object if I posted it all here - this is a kind of index to what is available.
