Articles of Faith/Articles of Religion are brief statements of belief of a particular denomination. Growing up as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints I only ever heard this in context of the LDS 13 Articles of Faith published in 1842. While attending a musical event (at a Baptist church?) I skimmed through a book and found that they had Articles of Faith too. Having never heard another Christian bring up Articles of Faith in conversation, I've since then looked up a variety of articles, here are a few: - 22 Articles of Religion: Wesleyan Church (1844)1 - 28 Articles of Faith: Bible Fellowship Church (founded 1858) - 25 Articles of Religion: Methodist Church (1784)2 The earliest Article of Religion I believe is Thirty-nine Articles: The Church of England (1571) Do any Christian denominations have more than 39 defined Articles of Religion? Do any have fewer than 13? 1 History of the Wesleyan Church 2 Britannica: Twenty-five Articles of Religion
