**Mainline Pietism** ---- | {{:wiki:pietist_cross.png?nolink&200|}} || ^ The Pietist Cross, used commonly in Mainline churches. ^^ ^ Classification | [[Enochian religions|Enochian]] | ^ Scripture | Holy Diatheca | ^ Theology | Various | ^ Region | Primarily [[Esmaria]] and other member states of the [[Coalition]]| **Mainline Pietism** is the more "progressive" of the modern iterations of [[Pietist Soterianity|Pietism]]. Originating with the historic Pietist denominations that took root in the Esmarian colonies, they had cemented their place within local populations and gradually disseminated their theological practices, adapting liberal or progressive outlooks on [[Soterianity|Soterian]] theology. However, as time went on, these mainline churches found contention with not only the [[Canonical Soterianity|Canonical Church]], but also from a split within Esmaria-centric Pietism that led to the rise of theologically conservative and evangelical churches; namely those who align with the [[Benenuntialism|Benenuntial movement]]. Like with Benenuntialism, Mainline Pietism has large populations within the [[Esmaria|Emerald Alliance]] and nearby [[Coalition]] nations; however, the mainline churches have lost their demographic majority with the rise of fundamentalist Pietist movements in the past. Mainliners also see more church collaborations than other denominational counterparts due to their recognition of the ecumenical movement within wider Soterianity. {{tag>religion soterianity pietist_soterianity mainline_pietism}}
