'''Audonian Christianity''' comprises {{wp|Christian}} traditions and church families that originally developed during classical and late antiquity in northwestern and western [[Audonia]]. The term does not describe a single communion or religious denomination, but does describe a shared current of beliefs and traditions among historic Christians originating in the region. For much of its history, the largest body of Audonian Christianity was the Audonian Church of the East, a Church which had official {{wp|dhimmi}} status within the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate]] and was lead by the Patriarch of Marand. Prior to the [[Crusades]], this form of Christianity also underwent growth in eastern [[Sarpedon]] as it was viewed by Caliphal authorities to be politically preferable to [[Catholic Church|Catholicism]] due to its ties to [[Caphiria]] and the [[Holy Levantine Empire]]. | '''Audonian Christianity''' comprises {{wp|Christian}} traditions and church families that originally developed during classical and late antiquity in northwestern and western [[Audonia]].
