The Subordinate Standards: And Other Authoritative Documents of the Free Church of Scotland (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Subordinate Standards: And Other Authoritative Documents of the Free Church of Scotland

In 1869 the two bodies claiming the name and rights of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America, and which separated in 1837, were reunited on the doctrinal and ecclesiastical basis of our common Standards.

Amendments of the Confession Of Faith, since 1788, have been as follows: In 1886 - 87, by striking out from Chapter xxiv., Sec tion 4, the clause forbidding marriage with a deceased wife's sister. In 1902-03, by adding Chapters xxxiv. And xxxv., and the Declaratory Statement as to Chapter iii. And Chapter x. Section 3; also by the alteration of Chapter xvii, Section 7, Chapter xxii. Section 3, and Chapter xxv. Section 6.

The Book of Discipline was entirely reconstructed and adopted in 1884-85; amendments and additions were made in 1894 - 1902.
