The following is a non-exhaustive list of denominations for the purpose of consistency in tagging. Please add to the list as items occur.

In case of multiple denominations applying (for example two groups sharing a place of worship) semicolon-delimited tagging can be used, for example religion=christian + denomination=anglican;methodist.

Instead of tagging with denomination=* it is possible to uses these values with operator=* and use the larger category in the denomination=* tag.
denomination=african_methodist_episcopal  African Methodist Episcopal Church, frequently abbreviated as AME. Not the same as denomination=african_methodist_episcopal_zion. See also denomination=methodist.
