A Christian denomination is a distinct religious body within Christianity , identified by traits such as a name , organization , leadership and doctrine . The Roman Catholic Church , Eastern Orthodox Church , and Oriental Orthodoxy , meaning the large majority , all self-describe as churches , whereas many Protestant denominations self-describe as congregations or fellowships . Divisions between one group and another are defined by authority and doctrine ; issues such as the nature of Jesus , the authority of apostolic succession , ecclesiology , eschatology , and papal primacy may separate one denomination from another . Groups of denominations - often sharing broadly similar beliefs , practices , and historical ties - are sometimes known as branches of Christianity . These branches differ in many ways , especially through differences in practices and belief . Individual denominations vary widely in the degree to which they recognize one another . Several groups claim to be the direct and sole authentic successor of the church founded by Jesus Christ in the 1st century AD . Others , however , believe in denominationalism , where some or all Christian groups are legitimate churches of the same religion regardless of their distinguishing labels , beliefs , and practices . Because of this concept , some Christian bodies reject the term denomination to describe themselves , to avoid implying equivalency with other churches or denominations . The Roman Catholic Church , which has over 1.3 billion members - slightly over half of all Christians worldwide - does not view itself as a denomination , but as the original pre-denominational church , a view rejected by other Christians . Protestant denominations account for approximately 37 percent of Christians worldwide . Together , Catholicism and Protestantism ( including Anglicanism , and other denominations sharing historical ties ) comprise Western Christianity .
Manchester city centre is the central business district of Manchester , England , within the boundaries of Trinity Way , Great Ancoats Street and Whitworth Street . The City Centre ward had a population of 17,861 at the 2011 census . Manchester city centre evolved from the civilian vicus of the Roman fort of Mamucium , on a sandstone bluff near the confluence of the rivers Medlock and Irwell . This became the township of Manchester during the Middle Ages , and was the site of the Peterloo Massacre of 1819 . Manchester was granted city status in 1853 , after the Industrial Revolution , from which the city centre emerged as the global centre of the cotton trade which encouraged its splendidly imposing commercial architecture during the Victorian era , such as the Royal Exchange , the Corn Exchange , the Free Trade Hall , and the Great Northern Warehouse . After the decline of the cotton trade and the Manchester Blitz , the city centre suffered economic decline during the mid-20th century , but the CIS Tower ranked as the tallest building in the UK when completed in 1962 . The city centre acts as the transport interchange for Greater Manchester and over 7 million people live within an hour 's drive of it . The 1996 Manchester bombing provided the impetus for the redevelopment of the city centre and an upturn in retail , leisure , offices and urban living . The economy of the city centre is built primarily on retail and services , accounting for nearly 40% of Grade A city centre office space outside London .
The Assemblies of God ( AG ) , officially the World Assemblies of God Fellowship , is a group of over 144 autonomous self-governing associated national groupings of churches which together form the world 's largest Pentecostal denomination . It is the fourth largest international Christian group of denominations and the largest Pentecostal denomination in the world . As an international fellowship , the member denominations are entirely independent and autonomous ; however , they are united by shared beliefs and history . The Assemblies originated from the Azusa Street Revival of the early 20th century . This revival led to the founding of the Assemblies of God in the United States in 1914 . Through foreign missionary work and establishing relationships with other Pentecostal churches , the Assemblies of God expanded into a worldwide movement . It was not until 1988 , however , that the world fellowship was formed . As a Pentecostal fellowship , the Assemblies of God believes in the Pentecostal distinctive of baptism with the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues . The Assemblies of God should not be confused with the Assemblies of God International Fellowship , the International Assemblies of God Fellowship , and the Independent Assemblies of God International , all of which are Pentecostal denominations .
Ancoats is an area of Manchester in North West England , next to the Northern Quarter , the northern part of Manchester city centre . Historically in Lancashire , Ancoats became a cradle of the Industrial Revolution and has been called the world 's first industrial suburb . For many years , from the late 18th century onwards , Ancoats was a thriving industrial district . The area suffered accelerating economic decline from the 1930s and depopulation in the years after the Second World War , particularly during the slum clearances of the 1960s . Since the 1990s Ancoats ' industrial heritage has been recognised and its proximity to the city centre has led to investment and substantial regeneration . The southern part of the area is branded as New Islington , by UK property developers Urban Splash , while the north retains the Ancoats name , with redevelopment centred on the Daily Express Building . For the purpose of local government elections the area is part of the Ancoats and Beswick ward of the city of Manchester .
Methodism is an umbrella term used to describe denominations of Protestant Christianity which follow the line of the Methodist movement . Methodist denominations are historically related and derive their doctrine of practice and belief from the life and teachings of John Wesley . George Whitefield and John 's brother Charles Wesley were also significant early leaders in the movement . It originated as a revival movement within the 18th-century Church of England and became a separate denomination after Wesley 's death . The movement spread throughout the British Empire , the United States , and beyond because of vigorous missionary work , today claiming approximately 80 million adherents worldwide . [ nb 1 ] Wesleyan theology , which is upheld by the Methodist Churches , focuses on sanctification and the effect of faith on the character of a Christian . Distinguishing Methodist doctrines include the new birth , assurance , imparted righteousness , the possibility of entire sanctification , the works of piety , and the primacy of Scripture . Most Methodists teach that Jesus Christ , the Son of God , died for all of humanity and that salvation is available for all ; in theology , this view is known as Arminianism . [ nb 2 ] This teaching rejects the Calvinist position that God has pre-ordained the salvation of a select group of people . However , Whitefield and several other early leaders of the movement were considered Calvinistic Methodists and held to the Calvinist position . In addition to evangelism , Methodism emphasises charity and support for the sick , the poor , and the afflicted through the works of mercy . These ideals , collectively known as the Social Gospel , are put into practice by the establishment of hospitals , orphanages , soup kitchens , and schools to follow Christ 's command to spread the good news and serve all people .
Charismatic Christianity ( also known as Spirit-filled Christianity by its supporters ) is a form of Christianity that emphasizes the work of the Holy Spirit , spiritual gifts , and modern-day miracles as an everyday part of a believer 's life . Practitioners are often called Charismatic Christians or Renewalists . Although there is considerable overlap , Charismatic Christianity is often categorized into three separate groups : Pentecostalism , the Charismatic Movement and Neo-charismatic movement . The movement is distinguished from Pentecostalism by not making the speaking in tongues ( glossolalia ) a necessary evidence of Spirit baptism and giving prominence to the diversity of spiritual gifts . According to the Pew Research Center , Pentecostals and Charismatic Christians numbered over 584 million or a quarter of the world 's 2 billion Christians in 2011 .
Barlow Moor was in early times an area of moorland between Didsbury and Chorlton-cum-Hardy and was named after the Barlow family of Barlow Hall . Barlow Moor Road runs through the area and connects to Wilmslow Road at the southern end and Manchester Road at the northern end . Southern Cemetery and Chorlton Park are landmarks on the route . Immediately adjacent to the northwest corner of the cemetery , also on Barlow Moor Road , is the Manchester Crematorium which opened in 1892 , the second in the United Kingdom . The architects were Steinthal and Solomons who chose to revive the Lombard-Romanesque style . Another notable building is the Chorlton Park Apartments , 2002 . During the English Civil War , Prince Rupert camped on Barlow Moor , halfway between two strategic crossing points of the River Mersey . Prince Charles Edward Stuart , 'Bonnie Prince Charlie ' , camped here on his way to , and retreat from , Derby in the Rebellion of 1745 . The area has been largely in Chorlton Park ward of the City of Manchester since 1998 ; previously there was a Barlow Moor ward . John Leech former MP for Manchester Withington has been a City councillor for both these wards ; he was succeeded as councillor for Chorlton Park by Bernie Ryan . The Roman Catholic church of St Ambrose , Princess Road , was built in 1958 to the designs of architects Reynolds & Stone . The dedication to St Ambrose of Milan was chosen because St Ambrose Barlow 's birthplace was in the parish .
The Catholic Church , sometimes referred to as the Roman Catholic Church , is the largest Christian church , with approximately 1.3 billion baptised Catholics worldwide as of 2017 [ update ] . As the world 's oldest and largest continuously functioning international institution , it has played a prominent role in the history and development of Western civilisation . The church is headed by the Bishop of Rome , known as the pope . Its central administration is the Holy See . The Christian beliefs of Catholicism are found in the Nicene Creed . The Catholic Church teaches that it is the One , Holy , Catholic and Apostolic church founded by Jesus Christ in his Great Commission , [ note 1 ] that its bishops are the successors of Christ 's apostles , and that the pope is the successor to Saint Peter upon whom primacy was conferred by Jesus Christ . It maintains that it practises the original Christian faith , reserving infallibility , passed down by sacred tradition . The Latin Church , the twenty-three Eastern Catholic Churches , and institutes such as mendicant orders , enclosed monastic orders and third orders reflect a variety of theological and spiritual emphases in the church . Of its seven sacraments the Eucharist is the principal one , celebrated liturgically in the Mass . The church teaches that through consecration by a priest the sacrificial bread and wine become the body and blood of Christ . The Virgin Mary is venerated in the Catholic Church as Mother of God and Queen of Heaven , honoured in dogmas and devotions . Its teaching includes Divine Mercy , sanctification through faith and evangelisation of the Gospel as well as Catholic social teaching , which emphasises voluntary support for the sick , the poor , and the afflicted through the corporal and spiritual works of mercy .

The Church of England ( C of E ) is the established church of England . The Archbishop of Canterbury is the most senior cleric , although the monarch is the supreme governor . The Church of England is also the mother church of the international Anglican Communion . It traces its history to the Christian church recorded as existing in the Roman province of Britain by the third century , and to the 6th-century Gregorian mission to Kent led by Augustine of Canterbury . The English church renounced papal authority when Henry VIII failed to secure an annulment of his marriage to Catherine of Aragon in 1534 . The English Reformation accelerated under Edward VI 's regents , before a brief restoration of papal authority under Queen Mary I and King Philip . The Act of Supremacy 1558 renewed the breach , and the Elizabethan Settlement charted a course enabling the English church to describe itself as both catholic and reformed :

In the Middle Ages , improved drainage methods led to population growth . In the late Victorian and Edwardian periods , its rural character made it popular among the middle class . The loss of its railway station , the conversion of larger houses into flats or bedsitters , and significant social housing development to the south of the area changed its character again in the 1970s . Historically , Chorlton was a village on Lancashire 's southern border with Cheshire , and a township within the ancient parish of Manchester . It was incorporated into the city of Manchester in 1904 . Chorlton borders Stretford , Sale , Didsbury , Withington , and Whalley Range . The River Mersey runs past Chorlton along its southern boundary . The area 's eastern boundary has changed since the 19th century because of incorporation into the City of Manchester and division into wards . [ a ]

According to tradition , the church originated in the missions of Apostles Bartholomew and Thaddeus in the 1st century . It is sometimes referred to as the Armenian Orthodox Church or Gregorian Church . The latter is not preferred by the church itself , as it views the Apostles Bartholomew and Thaddeus as its founders , and St. Gregory the Illuminator as merely the first official governor of the church . It is also known simply as the Armenian Church .
The Church of St Cross , Clayton , Manchester , is a Victorian church by William Butterfield , built in 1863-66 . It was designated a grade II* listed building in 1963 .

It has a timber-framed roof with five-bay arcades , with patterns of coloured stone and tiles that have been echoed in late 20th century stencilling . There is some notable stained glass of the patron saints of the British Isles . The churchyard contains the war graves of seven soldiers of World War I and two of World War II .
Clayton is an area of Manchester , England , 3 miles east of the city centre on Ashton New Road . Historically in Lancashire , Clayton takes its name from the Clayton family who owned large parts of land around the area , including Clayton Vale , through which the River Medlock flows , separating Clayton from Newton Heath .

Other towns added to Manchester around this time were Blackley , Crumpsall , Moston , Openshaw and Gorton .
Christ Church , West Didsbury is the Parish Church of West Didsbury and part of Withington in Manchester . The parish is home to almost 18,000 people . It is notable in part as it is one of the most passed churches in Manchester [ citation needed ] as it is on the entry to Manchester on the A5013 ( Princess Parkway ) . Thousands of motorists pass its stone tower every day . The Church was built in 1881 as a gift to the community from Mr. William Roberts of Darleydale and cost £13,000 . It was , for many years , known as 'Christ Church-in-the-fields ' due to its placement in a semi-rural setting ; it is now in a suburban area . Between 1979 and 1981 the church was closed due to major extension of Princess Parkway and during this time the church was completely reordered and redecorated . The west entrance was sealed off and a new east entrance was created into what was the organ chamber . The old Jardine organ was disposed of and a redundant organ was purchased and rebuilt in a new case at the west end . In December 2006 Christ Church joined forces with St. Christophers Church in Withington and became a single parish . The current Rector is Anne Pilkington who came to the church from William Temple Church in Wythenshawe .
Didsbury is a suburban area of Manchester , England , on the north bank of the River Mersey , 4.5 miles ( 7.2 km ) south of Manchester city centre . The population at the 2011 census was 26,788 . Historically a part of Lancashire , there are records of Didsbury existing as a small hamlet as early as the 13th century . Its early history was dominated by being part of the Manor of Withington , a feudal estate that covered a large part of what is now the south of Manchester . Didsbury was described during the 18th century as a township separate from outside influence . In 1745 Charles Edward Stuart crossed the Mersey at Didsbury in the Jacobite march south from Manchester to Derby , and again in the subsequent retreat . Didsbury was largely rural until the mid-19th century , when it underwent development and urbanisation during the Industrial Revolution . It became part of Manchester in 1904 . The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds was formed in Didsbury in 1889 .
