The Different Types Of Maryland Churches

By Roger Wagner


Religion is a good thing. Religion did not start yesterday. As a matter of fact, it has existed since time immemorial. Also, it will not end anytime soon but will continue to exist until the end of time. Man is by nature religious. Most religious people believe in Christianity. Judaism and Islam are also popular religions. There are different types of Maryland churches. All of them believe in the Holy Bible. This is the compass of a Christian and the light of his feet. A Christian is required to lead a holy life. Repentance and Baptism are also important.

Of course, the dominant church in Maryland is the Catholic Church. This is also the case in other American states and cities. Catholicism has a rich history. It is believed to have started in the Roman Empire. Presently, Rome, Italy, is the city that hosts the global offices of Catholic Church. It also has the papal residence.

Catholic is the dominant Christian domination. Most countries on earth have Catholics. There are plenty of Catholics in America. After Catholicism, the second most popular Christian denomination in America is Protestantism. This is an offshoot of Catholicism. In the early centuries, there were people who were dissatisfied with practices of Catholicism. As a result, they started a new Christian faith: Protestantism.

In Maryland, one will find many Protestant churches. One is likely to encounter a number of Anglican and Lutheran churches. Anglicanism started in Britain and latter spread to other parts of the world. For the case of Lutheranism, the origin is Germany. Christianity was brought to America by Europeans. Presently, there are very many American missionaries. Christianity is expanding fast in many countries.

Europeans did not only bring colonization to America. They also brought Christianity. Latter, Americans developed their own Christian churches. One of them is the Seventh Day Adventist. The other is the Latter Day Saints. Baptist is also indigenous to America. As a matter of fact, a good percentage of Americans belong to the Baptist faith. Baptists have spread their religion to many countries.

One of the issues that every Christian should understand is that the various Christian denominations do not conflict other. As a matter of fact, they complement each. Actually, there is beauty in diversity. Not every Christian needs to be an evangelical. Some can be charismatic Christians. The only slight difference is the day of worship because Adventists worship on Saturday.

One should not merely be a Sunday or Saturday Christian. Being a believer does not end the moment one leaves the church. There is the need to worship and pray, all the days of the week. According to the Holy Bible, a believer should pray so that not to enter into temptation. Reading the Bible daily is highly recommended.

America is by all means a Christian country. It was founded on Christian values. As a matter of fact, the American constitution was written by very devout Christians who made it to reflect The Ten Commandments that were given to Moses so that to be used to guide Christians in their daily walk. A good Christian will obey all the commandments.
