Luther, Calvin, and Presbuteros

On Jan 10th and 17th we are covering "Presbyterianism" or "What does it mean to be a Presybterian?"

Since I'm pressed for time, I'll just say that on the 10th we had a good overview of Wycliffe, Luther, and Calvin and the church reforms they sought. On the 17th we'll take a closer look at Calvin's thoughts on prayer.

The word "Presbyterian" comes from the Greek presbuteros, which means "elder". The Presbyterian church differs from other church governments in that it is governed by elders, rather than a priest or bishop.
