The term may be applied in particular to [[Protestant]] church bodies or groupings. Notable among these are: [[Anglican]], [[Methodist]], [[Congregationalism|Congregational]], [[Baptist]], [[Lutheran]], the [[Anabaptist]] tradition (made up of the [[Amish]], [[Hutterites]], and [[Mennonites]]), [[Pentecostal]], [[Charismatic Christianity]] and United and Uniting churches.  It is also common today for many churches to classify themselves as non-denominational.  The degree to which denominations differ and their acceptance within general Christianity varies widely.
