schism

Read a random definition: UFCA

A quick definition of schism:

Schism means a split or division among members of a group, especially a religious group. It can happen when people have different beliefs and opinions about their religion. Sometimes, this can lead to a separation of the group into different factions. In some cases, this can also affect property rights and cause legal disputes. However, the government usually does not interfere in religious matters unless it involves property rights.

A more thorough explanation:

Schism refers to a division or separation, especially among members of a group or organization. It can also refer to a separation of beliefs and doctrines by people who belong to the same religion, denomination, or sect.

  • When the political party could not agree on a candidate, a schism occurred, and some members formed a new party.
  • The Protestant Reformation was a schism that occurred in the Christian Church in the 16th century, resulting in the formation of various Protestant denominations.
  • In the 19th century, a schism occurred in the Mormon Church, resulting in the formation of the Community of Christ.

These examples illustrate how schism can occur in various contexts, such as politics, religion, or organizations. It often happens when there are disagreements or conflicts that cannot be resolved, leading to a split or division.
