Cross Denominational Mission

Back to our Home Page Directory of Ancient & Modern Christian Leaders

Here is a list of well known and some not so well known characters who have helped to shape what we know today as the Christian Faith. Each one is (will be) a link which will take you to a description of that person, and a short history and explanation of what their contribution was. These people have not been 'canonised' (which is recognised as saints), and some are maybe more deserving than those who are. Those who are recognised as saints are listed in our Directory of Saints. Biblical characters are not listed here either, being listed in the Biblical Characters directory. Those in italics are not, or would not have described themselves as, 'Christian'; their role has nevertheless helped the Christian faith in its development. This list is not complete. If you would like to propose someone for this list please contact us.
