Some of the larger ones include [[Roman Catholicism]], the [[Eastern Orthodoxy|Greek and Russian Orthodox churches]] and the wide variety of [[Protestant churches]]. Since the church was formed, [[Major events and important movements in church history|major events and conflict]], often over matters of doctrine has resulted in significant rifts in the church.   <h3>[[Christian doctrine and debates|Christian doctrine and debates]]</h3> Various [[Creeds and catechisms]] have been written as statements of the beliefs of different Christians. Today there is still considerable differences in understanding on major themes in Christianity like [[Justification, salvation and grace]]. For indexes of all themes see [[Christian Topics]] and [[Sermons]]. See also [[Christian eschatology]]  <h3>[[Famous Christians]]</h3> [[Image:BillyGraham.jpg|left]] Some of the more well known Christians have included [[Paul the apostle]], [[Augustine]], [[Martin Luther]] and [[C.S. Lewis]]. Yet every person impacts on the world in some way. We may not remember who the man was that led [[Billy Graham]] to Christ, but he certainly has changed the world.  '''[[Testimonies]]''' of how we came to Christ (or perhaps how he came to us) can remind us that Christianity is about a personal relationship. It isn't ultimately about knowing things or doctrine. It's about knowing the person who can save you. See also [[Reflections]] and [[Daily Devotions]].  [[Image:Religious symbols_170px.gif|right]] <h3>[[Cults and other religions|Cults and other religions]]</h3> The world is a mixing pot of religions. Some of the larger ones include [[Islam]], [[Buddhism]] and [[Hinduism]]. Other ones with origins linked to Christianity include [[Mormonism]] and [[Jehovah's Witnesses]]. What are the common threads? What are the differences? How is Christianity unique? Write about your own experiences with other religions or about your contact with people of different faiths.}
