Catholics

Catholics are people who believe in Holy Mary and confession of sin to the priest. They go to Church and sit on a place called a Pew, they dance however they like to worship God. Some people dance in a  different of way to other people, they do communion where they riesteat br ead and drink wine. They drink wine from a place called the Chalice, the priest stands in a place called the Altar were he preaches the word of God.
Methodists

Methodism is a Christian denomination which was started by John Wesley (1703-1791) and George Whitefield (1714-1770) in England in the early 1700s. The name comes from the fact that Wesley sought to understand religion "by rule and method" and follow biblical teachings as interpreted by tradition and reason. During the Revolutionary War, Wesley's followers in America lacked leadership and the Anglican church refused to ordain people to help him, so Wesley took the unusual step of ordaining some ministers on his own authority - this step was key in the creation of the Methodist church and the first Methodist Episcopal Church was organized in Baltimore on December 24, 1784. During this "Christmas Conference," Methodist preachers officially established Methodism as an independent denomination with the purpose "To reform the continent, and spread scriptural holiness through these lands."
Pentecostal
Pentecostalism may well be the fastest growing movement within Christianity, especially in Latin America where it has a strong appeal for traditionally Catholic populations. Drawing its inspiration from the Pentecost story, those involved in the movement emphasize the "gifts of the Holy Spirit" that are enumerated in the first letter to the Corinthians, Chapter 12. Among these gifts are those of healing and "speaking in tongues," or glossolalia.Pentecostalism came into its own in the early twentieth century in the US. In 1901 Agnes Ozman received the "gift of tongues" at Charles Fox Parham's Bethel Bible College in Topeka, Kansas. Parham, a charismatic preacher of Methodist background, promoted the idea that speaking in tongues was the best available evidence that the Holy Spirit is present in the life of the believer. Beginning in April, 1906, during the Azusa Street Revival in Los Angeles several people again experienced the "infilling of the Holy Spirit" in a series of meetings under the leadership of William J. Seymour, a student of Parham's. The Los Angeles Times ran a front page story on the Azusa Revival, and from that point forward Pentecostalism began to spread rapidly across the United States.
Another distinguishing characteristic of Pentecostalism is that from the beginning it seemed to appeal equally to African Americans and Caucasians. One California newspaper commented on the emotional character of its worship in which "...whites and blacks mix in a religious frenzy."
The interracial harmony that characterized Pentecostalism in its first decade did not last, however, and in 1924 it split along racial lines. The breach was not healed until 1998 when the major white and black branches of the movement merged to form the Pentecostal/Charismatic Churches of North America.
Anglican

The Anglican Church in America is a branch of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church instituted by Jesus Christ. The word 'Anglican' refers to our spiritual heritage and roots in the Church of England.

Traders, merchants and soldiers seem to have brought the Christian Faith to Britain shortly after it became part of the Roman Empire in the middle of the First Century AD. Sixteen hundred years later, during what we call the Reformation, the Church of England emerged as a unique institution. It retained its 'Catholic' heritage enshrined in the Creeds, the decisions of the General Councils, its liturgy and sacraments, and in the threefold ministry of bishops, priests and deacons in Apostolic Succession. It 'reformed' itself by eliminating some nonessential accretions of the later medieval Church, by restoring much of the practice of the earliest Christians, and by insisting upon the authority of Holy Scripture as the rule and guide of Faith.

Members of the Church of England came to America in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. In many of the original colonies, the Church of England was the established or official Church. After the Revolution, American Anglicans established an autonomous branch of the Church, which became known as the Episcopal Church. Recently, during the last twenty-five or so years, that body abandoned most of the tradition of historic Anglican Faith and Practice. It is this tradition that many former Episcopalians and other faithful Anglicans are seeking to preserve and proclaim.
