→‎Apostolic Succession: Anglican and Methodist do
Line 85: Line 85:  
Iread somewhere that the Catholic and Greek Orthodox churches are the only two that claim to be valid Christian Churches because they trace their history to one of the original apostles. Of that is true then they would be the only Christian churches, the others being formed by men who may be considered heretics of their original faiths [[User:Markr|Markr]] 11:46, 3 December 2008 (EST)

:Agreed.  All Protestants were (still are?) considered heretics by the Catholic and Greek Orthodox churches. But I thought [[Martin Luther]] was originally an ordained Catholic priest. So I always believed that most protestants could easily and legitimately trace a successesion back to Christ, either through Luther or through another originally ordained Catholic priest who broke with the Church during the Protestant formation (not sure if formation is the right word here).--[[User:RickD|RickD]] 12:08, 3 December 2008 (EST)

::The Anglican and Methodist churches certainly claim apostolic succession, and I don't think it's widely disputed. I'm not sure about United Reformed or other protestant branches.--[[User:CPalmer|CPalmer]] 12:13, 3 December 2008 (EST)
