Interdenominationalism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Interdenominational (also called transdenominational) Churches built for the purpose of bringing together Christians of different denominations are often referred to as united and uniting churches. This sometimes leads to doctrinal and stylistc compromises, leading to the idea that there are "primary" and "secondary" issues in faith. Primary issues describe those about which there can be no disagreement, whereas secondary issue can be compromised upon. This is the ethos behind the Christian Union movement for instance (UCCF).
Christian faith-based organisations which act independent of church oversight are called interdenominational or parachurch organisations (para, is Greek for beside, or alongside). They are typically Protestant or evangelical.
