Attributed founding

Whom the records name as founder

An attribution, and a contested one in most traditions: it does not mean the tradition began fully formed, nor that later adherents accept the attribution.

Does not imply that the tradition began fully formed · that later adherents accept the attribution

Begin with a figure

What this means

Records whose own statements name this tradition — 15 of them. Computed from those statements, not curated here, and ordered by how widely each is linked across Wikipedia — those at home in the tradition’s collection first, and those with a picture first among the leading few — rather than by significance to the tradition.

An affiliation recorded on a person is a third party’s record, often of one period of a life — not that person’s belief at every point in it.

A place that names a tradition may be a temple or a whole province. Either way it is not a count of believers, and not evidence of practice in every period.

Each is set out by its own date on the historical clock. An event that names a tradition — a council, a schism, a persecution — says who took part or was affected, not what every adherent held.

Connections

How Armenian Apostolic Church connects

Grouped by the kind of relationship, because a successor is not a son and a shared symbol is not an influence.

Affiliation 3

What this means

Association with a tradition or school. Traditions branch, overlap and re-merge; this is not a clean single-origin tree.

Does not imply that the culture was religiously uniform · a fixed roster · that every account of the tradition knows this figure · personal belief at every point in a life · the practice of a population
