Descrição:

Form of church government developed by Swiss and Rhineland Reformers during the 16th-century Protestant Reformation and used with variations by Reformed and Presbyterian churches throughout the world. John Calvin believed that the system of church government used by him and his associates in Geneva, Strassburg, Zürich, and other places was based upon the Bible and the experience of the church, but he did not claim that it was the only acceptable form. According to Calvin’s theory of church government, the church is a community or body in which Christ only is head and all members are equal under him.
