As the records give it
Founders
Named as founders
Who the records name as founding it.
What this means
An attribution, usually recorded long afterwards and often contested — not a claim that it began fully formed, or that everyone who belongs to it accepts the attribution. An order, a church or a dynasty named as founder is listed by name rather than drawn: an arch is for a likeness.
Where
Located in
The places its record gives — a location, not a claim about what happened there.

Nearby
Places nearby
The nearest this collection holds, measured between recorded coordinates.
What this means
Computed from coordinates, not stated by any source. Nearness is geometry, not a connection: two sites a kilometre apart may never have shared a worshipper, a tradition or a century. Where either coordinate is recorded only to a district, the distance is rounded and says “about”.

The institutions this collection holds nearest in date, in their order.
What this means
Listed because they are institutions in Christianity, as this one is, dated close to it — not because either record names the other. Being on the same shelf is not a connection, an influence or a sequence.

Connections
How Baylor University connects
Grouped by the kind of relationship, because a successor is not a son and a shared symbol is not an influence.

Does not imply that these are all the events in its history · that Wikidata ranks the events by importance
