Is your family associated with a Protestant denomination? Most likely, yes. In North La the average person is Protestant in background.
Protestant is a category of Christian denominations based on the word "protest."
Martin Luther was a German monk, priest, professor, theologian, and church reformer. His teachings inspired the Reformation, and influenced the doctrines and culture of the Lutheran and Protestant traditions, and the course of Western civilization. His protest was against several forms of corruption in the Catholic church.
Henry VIII, the English king who disagreed with the Catholic Church over the issue of divorce, was also a Protestant. Henry established the Church of England, a Christian church like the Catholic church except in the policy on divorce.
Today the principal Protestant groups include:
Methodist
Baptist
Church of God
