Christian traditions
Religious customs, faith-based
Christian traditions are the inherited practices, beliefs, liturgies, and institutional structures that distinguish different branches of Christianity from one another.
The major traditions include Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and the various Protestant denominations—each with distinct approaches to worship, church governance, and doctrine.
The term acknowledges that Christianity is not monolithic: Different Christian traditions interpret scripture differently.
Within any tradition, smaller variations exist by region, culture, and congregation.
