A Book of Public Prayer: Compiled From the Authorized Formularies of Worship of the Presbyterian Church (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Book of Public Prayer: Compiled From the Authorized Formularies of Worship of the Presbyterian Church

The Waldenses Of Piedmont, representing a race that for centuries had contended for the apostolic faith and discipline, sent, in the sixteenth century, their delegates to the newly-reformed Churches Of Switzerland, for the purpose Of ascertaining more definitely the nature Of their movement, and giving their adhesion to an evangelical system Of truth. These primitive Christians accepted as their own the Confession Of Faith established by Calvin; and they likewise adopted the Reformed Liturgy, which they have continued to use down to the present day. Within a few years, to render more perfect the uniformity Of their worship, they have re-moulded the four or five slightly-differing formulaiies in vogue among them, as received from other Presbyterian Churches, and have set forth a revised ritual, under the title Of The Liturgy Of the Evangelical Church Of the Valleys.
