List of Christian movements

A Christian movement is a theological, political, or philosophical interpretation of Christianity that is not generally represented by a specific church, sect, or denomination. The modern 24-7 Prayer Movement: a movement spanning denominations focusing on the pursuit of God as the focus of one's life. The International House of Prayer in Kansas City, MO is a visible example of this concept. Anti-Judaism: The Quartodeciman controversy erupted in the 2nd century, and the anti-quartodeciman position became catholic doctrine at First Council of Nicea which forever severed Easter from Passover, both thematically and calendrically. Christians thereafter, including all major protestant churches, have felt justified in considering themselves as having replaced the Jews, believing that the new covenant has superseding and abrogating the original one. C.f. Antinomianism, Supersessionism British Israelism or "Anglo-Israelism": The Christian belief that many modern people of British and European heritage are descended from the Ten Lost Tribes or directly descended from the Tribe of Judah and thereby the heirs of the covenants with Abraham Isaac and Jacob. Charismatic movement or "Neo-Pentecostalism": Pentecostal beliefs and practices spread to churches outside the Holiness tradition. Catholic Charismatic Renewal Charismatic Restorationism: Pentecostalism beliefs and practices together with restorationist elements that reject denominationalism. Closely related to Latter Rain Movement. Christ the Only Way movement. A programme in the Philippines to promote evangelism. Christian ecumenism: The promotion of unity or cooperation between distinct religious groups or denominations of the Christian religion. Christian Family Movement: a U.S. movement of parish and small groups of families that meet to reinforce Christian values. Christian fundamentalism: sought to assert a minimal set of traditional Christian beliefs against the influences of Modernist Christianity; became a movement of separation from the "mainline" Protestant churches.
