Church of Pakistan
United and uniting churches · 1970 · Pakistan
The 1970 union of Anglicans, Church of Scotland Presbyterians, Methodists, and Lutherans in Pakistan — the united-church family's rare four-trunk node including the Lutheran line.
Church of Pakistan was formed in 1970. Church of Pakistan continues today. Church of Pakistan's institutional line runs back through Church of England, Roman Catholicism to the post-apostolic church. No body on this tree is the assembly of Acts 2; where a body claims that, the claim appears in the claimed-lineage layer.
Between the post-apostolic church and Church of Pakistan stand 2 divisions along the institutional line, counting separations and disputed forks, not mergers, renewals or national organizations.

On the tree
Solid lines are separations and unions; dashed lines are renewals that began inside a body; dotted gray lines are national organizations of one communion; a diamond marks a fork event where neither side is drawn as the one that left. Every line runs back to the post-apostolic church; no body descends from the assembly of Acts 2. Dashed gray boxes mark the institutional line after the apostles, shown as departure; no line of descent is drawn from Pentecost. A verdict appears on a box once its section is published.
