An encyclopedia entry about Presbyterians in the U.S. is presented. They constitute approximately 2 percent of the country's population. The Presbyterian denomination of the Protestant Church traces its origin to the sixteenth century when John Calvin in Geneva, Switzerland and John Knox in Scotland shaped its basic theology and governance. The Presbyterian Church was formed in 1983 as a merger of the United Presbyterian Church and the Presbyterian Church. |
