Presbyterianism

Please see the CN Wiki Articles on the Reformed Church and Protestantism for CN-related information on Presbyterianism.

Presbyterianism started out as Protestant Christianity in Scotland, and has historically been defined by the Westminster Confession of Faith, John Knox's Book of Order, and having a "presbyterian" form of church government. A presbyterian form of church government is similar to a Republic, where elected officials, in this case a board of elders or presbyters, rule the church on behalf of the people. There are strong strains of Federalism within some circles of Presbyterian thought as well. Worship style is usually simple but reverent, and has historically centered on the preaching of the Bible.

CN Nations with Presbyterian minorities include Russartica and the Republic of Displaced Calvinists.
