Within the 'broad church' that is the Anglican Communion (i.e. the Church of England, and others close to it), 'High church' denotes the Anglo-Catholic sector while 'Low church' refers to evangelicals.

Religious icons are, themselves, particularly emblematic of which branch of the Church?

'Besides personally believing all the main tenets of Christianity, I have come to declare my individual faith by undergoing total immersion in water, rather than 'just' the sign of a damp cross on my forehead. Meanwhile I abhor all alcohol as a work of the Devil. What type of Christian am I?'

Where did Brother Roger found an international ecumenical community, in 1940 (early on during the Second World War), which continues to thrive and has a particularly strong youth ministry?

'I should never attend Mass unless I have first been to Confession. My faith requires me to believe, among much else, that contraception and abortion are sins against our loving Creator God. To what One True Church do I belong?'

This city in the British West Midlands has a modern (1960s) cathedral next to, and functionally replacing, the ruins of an old 14th-century one which was largely bombed out by the Luftwaffe in 1940. The bombers had officially been targeting the local motor factories which, themselves, were largely given over in wartime to the manufacture and repair of tanks, aeroplanes and other motorised combat machinery. After the raid, three nails were found fused by heat into the shape of a cross, since adopted as an emblem of suffering and forgiveness. The new cathedral, part of whose commissioning and consecration involved hosting the first performance of Benjamin Britten's War Requiem, has also since taken on a special and valued ministry to those bereaved through car and other transport accidents. Which is the city?

'We do not have clergy, fixed forms of service, nor church buildings as such; our worship, known as 'meeting', may on occasion consist of total silence throughout. Our members are pacifists who would never bear arms, even for national defence in time of war. Who are we?'

'Our name derives from that blessed day when the Spirit first came to ignite the Church. Many of our members, though by no means all, are of black African ethnicity, and our worship is characterised by its freedom in the Spirit, its fervency, its lively Gospel-style singing and gestures, and the ready rhetorical interplay between pastors and their people ('Halleluia, Lord Jesus'!). We proudly call ourselves ... '

'We are a uniformed organisation with a robust, sympathetic but no-nonsense tradition of ministry among the weak and marginalised in society. Among much else, we are all too aware of the trouble that arises from people surrendering their lives to alcohol; our members all take a pledge never to drink any themselves. Aside from that, the first awareness that many people outside our ranks may have of us might typically be when our Citadel Band plays carols for those out shopping in the town towards each Christmas. Who are we?'
