This category is for articles regarding those religious groups—not individual persons—which are not Orthodox Christian. (See [[:Category:Heresies]] for ancient and modern [[heresy|heresies]] from Church history.)
'''From the [[OrthodoxWiki:Style Manual]]:''' ""Articles below on Non-Orthodox Christian religious groups, while necessarily including some general description of those groups, should have as their primary content the relationship and history of that group in relation to the Orthodox Church." " Among other things, those this could include:*information which would help for Orthodox Christians (who are not necessarily theologically trained) evaluate an a particular group from an Orthodox perspective. * an account of the history of relations between that religious group or and the Orthodox churches (e.g. out of in the history of the [[Anglican Communion|Anglican Church]] the [[Fellowship of St. Alban or and St. Sergius]] should be mentioned as well as the interaction of St. [[Raphael Hawaweeny]] with the [[Episcopal Church U.S.A.]]
'''Note:''' Many jurisdictions make a canonical distinction (esp. with regard to [[baptism|baptismal practice]]) between those groups which acknowledge the authority of Holy Scripture and hold to an essentially Orthodox Christology (generally speaking this would include [[Baptists]], [[Presbyterians]], [[Lutherans]], [[Methodists]], free-church [[Evangelicals]], and [[Charismatics]]) and those groups which have more in common with ancient [[heresies]] than traditional Christianity ([[Jehovah's Witnesses]], [[Mormons]], etc.).
