Description

In this unit pupils will gain an overview of the history of the church after Jesus. They will learn how and why the Christian church now has different denominations through case studies that allow them to see the diverse Christianity of today.

Pupils have gained a deep understanding of the religion of Christianity. However it is important that this understanding is not limited to the time of Jesus or practices today. Situating the unit here allows pupils to gain a historical perspective to prepare them for Key Stage 3. They will be introduced to key differences and points of departure between Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant Christians whilst also noting the ongoing work to find common ground through the ecumenical movement.

  1. The Day of Pentecost and the 'birth' of the Church
  2. The early Christian church
  3. Schism: Orthodox and Catholic
  4. Reformation: Catholics and Protestants
  5. Ecumenism between Catholics and Protestants
  6. Comparing Quakers and Pentecostals
