TRUTH !!

In 1054, Orthodox Christianity experienced "The Great Schism" in which the church split in two - one was considered the Catholic (or Universal) Church and the other was the Orthodox Church; these churches then divided into Western Orthodox (in Western Europe) and Eastern Orthodox (in Eastern Europe). Because of differences in language and geography, rather than doctrine, there was yet another separation into Greek and Russian Orthodox. Baptist, Lutheran and Pentecostal denominations are all part of Protestantism and, it seems, all Protestants may be considered Christian, but not all Christians are Protestants.
