Lutheranism was born in 1517. But Luther himself did not want to break from the Catholic Church. Anglicanism was born in 1534. Henry VIII needed a divorce. Calvinism was born in 1536. Calvin did not agree with Luther about communion. Puritanism was born in the 1570s. Some folks thought Anglicanism was still too Catholic. Congregationalism was born in 1648. Robert Browne rejected the concept of clergy altogether. Methodism was born in 1785. But Wesley himself did not want to break from Anglicanism. Pentacostalism was born in 1900. Charles Fox Parham rejected denominations altogether. And I've left off a hundred more denominations: Anabaptists, Baptists, Quakers, Shakers, etc. What's my point? The basis of Protestantism is disunity, division and fragmentation.
