The Church of the Silver Flame is the "youngest" religion of Khorvaire in the Dungeons & Dragons setting of Eberron. Whilst it's been around for many years, with the deity-like force it worships - the actual Silver Flame - have been forged by the couatls during the Age of Demons, it's still younger as an organization than the Sovereign Host. Whilst the Purified, as its adherents call themselves, are a powerful force for good, the church has been wracked with controversy, due to a tendency towards very Lawful Stupid behavior.
History of the Silver Flame
The Silver Flame was created during the Age of Demons, when the couatl race collectively pooled their souls to create an abstract entity of goodness and law powerful enough to bind away any demon, even the mighty Overlords who ruled the world at that time.
History of the Church
The Church of the Silver Flame was founded in the year 229 YK, when a female human paladin named Tira Miron gave her life to merge with the Silver Flame and, by doing so, seal away a balor named Bel Shalor, who still tries to subvert his prison as "The Shadow in the Flame". After this act, Tira became able to communicate with mortals as "The Voice of the Silver Flame", and mortals began worshipping the Silver Flame.
Dogma
Burn the corruption and taint of evil from all Eberron. Other gods have begun the creation, but it is the Silver Flame, by searing wickedness and darkness from their imperfect world, that must complete it.
Meta-History
The Church first appeared in the original Eberron campaign setting splatbook for Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition. It was subsequently fleshed out in the splatbook "Faiths of Eberron" for the same edition, and the vast repository of its lore comes from that book. It then reappeared in the Eberron player's campaign guides for Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition, and was mentioned in brief in the Player's Handbook for Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition; it will presumably appear in the 5e Eberron splatbook if such a thing ever comes to exist
