The problem
Most people inherit their beliefs without knowing when each one entered history, and most online quizzes on the subject are trying to sell a side.
What we built
Plain questions, then a 2,000-year timeline of your own answers. Origins shows which of five traditions you stand closest to and where you part from it. It reports and does not recommend.
Where it is now
Live at origins.parochia.org, beside Parochia, with topic pages, articles and videos behind each belief.
What it does
- A ten-question quiz, with up to fifty questions for people who want to keep going
- A branching timeline of five traditions, from the shared path through 1054 and 1517
- Results that show where you stand closest and where you part from it
- Topic pages, articles and videos behind each belief
Questions
No. It shows where you stand and where each belief entered history. It does not tell you what to believe.
Orthodox, Catholic, Mainline, Progressive and Evangelical.
