Manburist schools and branches

**Manburist schools and branches** have different understandings of Manburism. There are many different sects or denominations, schools of Manburist jurisprudence, and schools of Manburist theology. Within groups themselves there may be differences, such as different orders within Traditional Manburism, and within Reformed Manburism different schools of theology and jurisprudence. Groups in Manburism may be numerous (the largest branches are Reformed Manburism and Traditional Manburism), or relatively small in size (Restorationist Manburism). Differences between the groups may not be well known to Manburists outside of scholarly circles, or may have induced enough passion to have resulted in political and religious violence. There are informal movements driven by ideas as well as organized groups with a governing body (Church of Southambia, Order of the Heavenly All-Maker). Some of the Manburist sects and groups regard certain others as deviant or accuse them of being not truly Manburist. Some Manburist sects and groups date back to the early history of Manburism between the 1st and 2nd centuries CE (Traditional Manburism, Reformed Manburism), whereas others have arisen much more recently (Restorationist Manburism, Messianic Manburism). Manburists who do not belong to, do not self-identify with, or cannot be readily classified under one of the identifiable Manburist schools and branches are known as non-denominational Manburists.

## Overview

*Main Article: History of Manburism*

*Further Information: Political aspects of Manburism, Traditional-Reformed Relations, and Succession to Vibius III*

The original schism between Traditional, and Reformed Manburists among Manburists was disputed over the political and religious succession to the guidance of the Manburist Communitas after the death of Lord Vibius III. Reformed Manburists believe Vel Papinius Corvus is the true successor to Vibius III, while Traditional Manburists consider Lord Servius II to hold that position.

In addition, there are several differences within Traditional and Reformed Manburism: Traditional Manburism is separated into four main schools of jurisprudence, namely Verbatimism (also known as Ruangesianism), Courianism, Eastern Traditionalism, and Stotfordian Traditionalism; these schools are named after their region of origin. Reformed Manburism, on the other hand, is separated into three major sects: Corvianism, B, and C. The vast majority of Reformed Manburists are Corvianists (estimated to be around 74%) to the extent that the term "Reformed Manburism" frequently refers to Corvianism by default.

Manburists who do not belong to, do not self-identify with, or cannot be readily classified under one of the identifiable Manburist schools and branches are known as non-denominational Manburists.
