Lutheran Churches: BNKP is not ONKP is not AMIN

[edit]

This is a bit of formalism but the TL;DR of it is that there are three Luteran churches native to Nias island: BNKP (Banua Niha Keriso Protestan), ONKP (Orahua Niha Keriso Protestan), and AMIN (Angowuloa Masehi Indonesia Nias). The schism between the three churches occured around a period between 1940 to 1950, and continues to this day. Meanwhile the Protestant Christian Church of Nias article in Wikipedia-EN appears to refer to BNKP, not ONKP(?)

I'm bringing this up because the 'Protestant Christian Church of Nias' article currently links to ONKP in Wikipedia-ID (and not to BNKP).

The relations between the three Nias churces is quite cordial today in the 21st century, but it is a disservice to all three denominations to mix all three together (as if there is only one organization, not three).
