Mainline Protestantism, as stated, 16th c.-present
Early Modern · stated scope
Mainline Protestantism is a cluster of historically established Protestant Christian denominations in the United States and Canada, distinguished from evangelical and fundamentalist Protestant bodies by their institutional affiliations, liturgical traditions, and theological stances on scriptural interpretation. These denominations, including the United Methodist Church, Episcopal Church, Presbyterian Church (USA), Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, and others, trace their organizational roots to European Reformation-era churches and have maintained continuous institutional presence in North America from the colonial period to the present. They are principally associated with membership in ecumenical bodies such as the National Council of Churches and the World Council of Churches.
