Mainline Pietism
Mainline Pietism is the more “progressive” of the modern iterations of 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 Soterian theology. However, as time went on, these mainline churches found contention with not only the 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 Benenuntial movement.
Like with Benenuntialism, Mainline Pietism has large populations within the 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.
