Introduction
Christianity () is an Abrahamic monotheistic religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ . It is the world's largest and most widespread religion with roughly 2.4 billion followers, comprising around 31.2% of the world population . Its adherents, known as Christians , are estimated to make up a majority of the population in 157 countries and territories . Christians believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God , whose coming as the Messiah was prophesied in the Hebrew Bible (called the Old Testament in Christianity) and chronicled in the New Testament .
Christianity remains culturally diverse in its Western and Eastern branches , and doctrinally diverse concerning justification and the nature of salvation , ecclesiology , ordination , and Christology . The creeds of various Christian denominations generally hold in common Jesus as the Son of God—the Logos incarnated —who ministered , suffered , and died on a cross , but rose from the dead for the salvation of humankind; and referred to as the gospel , meaning the "good news". The four canonical gospels of Matthew , Mark , Luke and John describe Jesus's life and teachings, with the Old Testament as the gospels' respected background.
The six major branches of Christianity are Roman Catholicism (1.3 billion people), Protestantism (1.17 billion), Eastern Orthodoxy (230 million), Oriental Orthodoxy (60 million), Restorationism (35 million), and the Church of the East (600 thousand). Smaller church communities number in the thousands despite efforts toward unity (ecumenism ). In the West , Christianity remains the dominant religion even with a decline in adherence , with about 70% of that population identifying as Christian. Christianity is growing in Africa and Asia , the world's most populous continents. Christians remain greatly persecuted in many regions of the world, particularly in the Middle East , North Africa , East Asia , and South Asia . (Full article... )

St Botolph's Church is an Anglican church in Quarrington in Lincolnshire , England.
The area has been settled since at least the Anglo-Saxon period , and a church existed at Quarrington by the time the Domesday Book was compiled in 1086, when it formed part of Ramsey Abbey 's fee . It was granted to Haverholme Priory in 1165, and the Abbey claimed the right to present the rector in the 13th century. It was then taken ownership of by the Bishop of Lincoln during the English Reformation in the early 16th century, and then passed to Robert Carre and his descendants after Carre acquired a manor at Quarrington.

Conversion of Saint Paul
Conversion to Christianity is the religious conversion of a previously non-Christian person to some form of Christianity . It has been called the foundational experience of Christian life. Conversion to Christianity primarily involves belief (faith ) in the Christian God , thinking that they are far short of the Christian God's apparent "glory and holiness" (sin ), repentance of "sin", and confession of their belief that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the all-sufficient and only means by whom one's sin can be atoned for and therefore the only route to salvation .

Selected scripture
And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
— Book of Revelation , Revelation 5:1-7, King James Version
