Talk:Continental Reformed Protestantism

message: Should we consider splitting the article into two articles: Reformed churches and List of Reformed churches? Alan Liefting 01:07, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I came to this talk page to discuss how I think there should be more content on the development of Reformed Churches within the United States. I think this is in line with Alan Liefting's intuition that there needs to be a distinction between just listing all the churchs and saying how they came about. RCUS may be a partial solution but I agree that this article is looking like at list at this point. Perhaps move the listy stuff to a list article.  MPS 15:54, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  I agree, that this article over time has evolved into a list - this happened because its original aim was to describe these churches as a family tree, in terms of history and documents of faith, that has branched out all over the world. But it is always in danger of becoming nothing more than a list.  This is made the more obvious by the recent inclusion of Baptist groups, which if it were a continuing trend would make it useless even as a list. — Mark (Mkmcconn) ** 23:39, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Split the article?

message: I have made a new category:
::Category:Reformed seminaries and theological colleges
If you are editing a college article, please consider adding it to the category (or one of its sub-categories) by adding:
 Category:Reformed seminaries and theological colleges
at the bottom of the article. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 10:09, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: New category: Reformed seminaries and theological colleges

message: There doesn't appear to be an adequate description of what the content of reformed theology is, compared to other theologies.  Such a section could also include links to other articles that go into more detail, such as TULIP. 210.9.200.35 01:41, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  What is reformed theology 

message: There is currently discussion regarding the creation of a work group specifically to deal with articles dealing with the Reformed churches, among others,  here. Any parties interested in working in such a group are welcome to indicate their interest there. Thank you. John Carter (talk) 16:38, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Proposed work group 

message: "Each nation in which the Reformed movement was originally established had its own church government."  Does this sentence mean that:1- each country, once it had a Reformed church, established a government controlled by that church, 2- in each country the Reformed church established a church hierarchy different from those of all other countries, or 3- something else?

thread_title:  What does this sentence mean? 

message: There should probably be some mention of the Church of England. Although it wouldn't be appropriate to simply label the C of E Reformed without qualification (it's a complex and diverse church), many in the church historically and indeed today throughout world-wide Anglicanism identify as "reformed" protestants. While not "reformed" in church polity (i.e. presbyterian/congegrational) its sacramental theology and other aspects of the 39 Articles of Faith are distinctly reformed (as opposed to Lutheran, for example) in inspiration. The Church sent a delegation to the Synod of Dordt.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.36.187.181 (talk) 00:38, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Church of England?

message: The current title is not WP:PRECISE, as Reformed church commonly refers to any Calvinistic church and this article is ostensibly about the continental Reformed (see talk:Calvinism#Merge Reformed churches here). I cannot, however, settle on a good substitute. Right now I favor Continental Reformed church, (singular per WP:SINGULAR). Another idea is Continental Reformed Christianity, which makes it clear we're not talking about a church, but is not common usage (that I know of). Continental Reformed is another idea, but that would violate WP:NOUN — JFHutson (talk) 19:12, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Read WP:PLURAL and I think this would be a category, so now I'm thinking Continental Reformed churches. JFHutson (talk) 20:04, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Move suggestions 

message: The chapter about forms of government is currently too general.
* In the Netherlands a local church council consists of the minister, the elders and the deacons who are all ordained;
* In (at least part of) the Swiss churches a local church council consists of non-ordained council members, and there are church "co-workers", while it is not necessary that council members and co-workers are the same people;
* I don't know about the other countries.
