'''[[The essence of Christianity|Go to the contents page entitled The essence of Christianity]]''' [[Welcome]] to WikiChristian - {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}}, {{CURRENTYEAR}} - the free [[Christian]] [[Encyclopedia]], Public Domain Library for all Christian works and [[wiki]] community for all believers. This is a collective project to build an [[open source]] free Christian [[encyclopedia]] that anyone can edit and contribute to our knowledge and understanding on [[Christianity]], the [[Bible]] and its [[believers]]. We started in January 2005 and are now working on {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} articles in the English version. Learn [[WikiChristian:How to edit a page|how to edit pages]], experiment in the [[WikiChristian:Sandbox|sandbox]], and visit our [[WikiChristian:Community Portal|Community Portal]] to find out how '''you''' can contribute to Wikichristian. === [[Urgent Messages|Urgent Message]] === Unfortunately this website is being targeted by vandals, so large numbers of pages are currently protected. Further information about this and about editing pages can be found in the [[Urgent Messages]] section. To the vandals, if you have something to say, then perhaps instead of destroying pages with obscenities, you could write a serious article titled "Why I don't believe in God" under the [[Atheism]] section.
We are building an open source [[wiki]] amplified Bible based on the Public Domain [[King James Version of the Bible]]. You can enhance any page in the wiki by editing the text adding internal and external links and additional comments in the [[King James Version of the Bible]]

*''[[Earth Quake and the Tsunami in Asia 2004]]''
We are deeply saddened by the Earth Quake and the Tsunami in Asia! The death toll appears to have exceeded 150,000 people in 12 countries from Malaysia to Somalia. What a horror it left to so many thousands of people who did not have the slightest clue of what is going to happen just a few days ago! As Christians, let us show that we care and that our hearts go out to those that have lost their loved ones!
==New to Wiki?==
A wiki (pronounced "wicky", "weekee" or "veekee") is a website that allows a user to add content, as on an Internet forum, but also allows that content to be edited by anybody. Wiki wiki comes from the Hawaiian term for "quick" or "super-fast." Since the page history is stored, the pages can be reverted back in case of vandalism. Since its first introduction on March 25, 1995, as Portland Pattern Repository by Ward Cunningham, Wiki Wiki Webs became quickly popular, thanks to the revolutionary concept of users editing any page in the wiki. Since the page history is stored, the pages can be reverted back in case of vandalism.
If you would like to contribute but could not do so because of the page protection, please contact one of the [[Special:Listadmins|Sysops]].

<h3>[[King James Version of the Bible]]</h3>
The '''King James Version (KJV)''' is an English translation of the [[Bible|Holy Bible]], commissioned for the benefit of the [[Anglican church|Church of England]] at the behest of King James I of England. First published in 1611, it has had a profound impact on not only most English translations that have followed it, but also on English literature as a whole. The works of famous authors such as [[John Bunyan]], John Milton, Herman Melville, John Dryden and William Wordsworth are replete with inspiration apparently derived from the King James Version.

'''Featured Article'''
[[A Biography of Saint Peter]]... Peter the Apostle has been looked to throughout church history as a model. The Roman Catholic church has claimed St. Peter as the first Bishop of Rome, thereby lending legitimacy to the modern day papacy. Peter is widely considered to have been among the "inner circle" of Jesus' disciples (ex. Mark 5.12). He is the central figure in much of the first twelve chapters of the Acts of the Apostles. Two epistles bear his name and some scholars argue that he was the source material that allowed Mark to write his Gospel. Many apocryphal books deal with his preaching and deeds, and church tradition has a well developed story of his martyrdom. But, amidst all of this the question must be raised, who was Peter?
