Synopsis

A clear, map-like guide to church government and discipline

This edition presents a structured view of how the Presbyterian Church in the United States organizes itself. It covers the roles of pastors, elders, deacons, and the various church courts, including sessions, presbyteries, synods, and the general assembly. The material explains how authority flows, how ordination and installation work, and how discipline and governance shape church life.

  • Learn how the church defines its offices, responsibilities, and the relationships between members, ministers, and ruling elders.
  • Explore the procedures for elections, calls, translations, and the installation of church officers.
  • Understand the rules for church councils, records, meetings, and the handling of discipline, appeals, and investigations.
  • See how worship, governance, and church order are connected in practice, from congregational enrollment to the oversight of congregations.
Ideal for readers of church history, governance, and doctrinal practice who want a practical, reference‑style overview of Presbyterian government and discipline.
