Q.3
Founded by Mary Baker Eddy in the late 19th century, this religious organisation holds that illness can generally be rectified through prayer. This has resulted in awkward cases where, for instance, believing parents have steadfastly refused 'conventional' medical aid for or to their children with a range of serious conditions. What is this movement called?
  • Spiritualism
  • Christian Science
  • Revivalism
  • Scientology
Q.4
This is another US-based Christian organisation, probably best recognised from its clean-living missionaries who call, in pairs, on people door-to-door, often offering copies of their magazine. Some of their elders were jailed as spies during World War 1 since their pacifist beliefs did not allow them to engage in any way with the national war effort. Their worship premises are known as a Kingdom Hall, and among their specific beliefs they do not recognise the generally mainstream Christian doctrine of the Trinity. Who are they?
  • Pentecostalists
  • Jehovah's Witnesses
  • Church of God
  • Seventh-Day Adventists
Q.5
'There are currently about a quarter of a million of us, based mainly in ancestral communities in Pennsylvania, but the one thing most people recognise about us is that we hardly look like modern North Americans: we speak an older Germanic language, dress in the manner of two or three centuries past, and in general have as little as we can to do with such things as cars or electricity. We are known also for our young-adult baptism, our strict but fair ways of family life, and the lovely occasions where a community literally 'pulls together' for a barn-raising. Who are we?'
  • Quakers
  • Amish
  • Plymouth Brethren
  • Ammonites
Q.6
Unlike many other branches of the Christian Church, these people hold that there are only two Sacraments (Baptism, and 'the Lord's Supper', known more widely as Communion or the Eucharist) ... since a guiding doctrine, over the 400+ years of their history, is not to allow or encourage anything in worship unless it is specifically and positively authorised in Scripture. There is a strong sense of overlap with Scotland, not least through the formative influence of John Knox (whose house can be visited on Edinburgh's Royal Mile), though this denomination is also active elsewhere in the British Isles and in many older 'colonial' parts of the world such as North America and the Antipodes (Australia / New Zealand). Despite being a worldwide church, for important historical reasons they have no Bishops. Who are these people?
  • Free Church of Scotland
  • Presbyterians
  • Pentecostalists
  • The Kirk
Q.7
Which of the following is NOT an established centre of Christian pilgrimage?
  • Compostela
  • Canterbury
  • Cologne
  • Cappadocia
Q.8
'In our place of worship, God's Word is of supreme importance, more so even than a communion service. When we do have communion, this is not taken from one large common chalice, but in small individual glasses (so you would notice the holes for these along the top of our altar-rail), and the wine we use is non-alcoholic. Our founders, meanwhile, after whom we are quite often alternatively called Wesleyans, also established a robust musical tradition. Who, or what, are we?'
  • Mormons
  • Moonies
  • Methodists
  • Mennonites
Q.9
In households and institutions within many Christian traditions, it is customary to follow Jesus' example and offer a prayer of thanks before tucking into a shared meal. What is the usual name for such a prayer?
  • The Grace
  • Grace
  • Thanksgiving
  • The Blessing
Q.10
'Unlike in the Christian heartlands of Europe and around the Mediterranean, we never have snow at Christmas, and Easter is associated with autumn imagery rather than spring and rebirth ('daffodil trumpets' .). Where in the world are we fellow-Christians?'
  • China
  • The Caribbean
  • Australia and New Zealand
  • Canada
