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.
Located in, not held here: Georgetown, Washington, D.C.
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”.

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.
