While some nations within the UK have an official 'established' church, many citizens belong to other Christian groups that are entirely independent of the state. Which of the following is an example of such a denomination?

  1. The Salvation ArmyAnswer
  2. B
    The Church of England
  3. C
    Sikhism
  4. D
    Hinduism

Answer

The Salvation Army is the correct answer as it is a Christian denomination that operates independently of the state-established churches.
The Salvation Army is recognized in the official handbook as one of the significant Christian denominations in the UK that is not an 'established' church. Other examples include Roman Catholics, Baptists, Methodists, and Quakers.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the distinction between 'established' and 'independent' churches in the UK.
The Church of England and the Church of Scotland are established, while others like Methodists and the Salvation Army are independent.
This allows for the exclusion of official state religions from the list of 'other' denominations.
2
Differentiate between Christian denominations and other world religions.
Groups like Sikhism and Hinduism are separate faiths, not Christian denominations.
The question specifically asks for a Christian denomination, so non-Christian religions must be excluded.
3
Select the group that fits both the 'Christian' and 'independent' criteria.
The Salvation Army is identified as a non-established Christian group.
It matches the definition of 'other Christian denominations' found in the official handbook.
