Description
Excerpt from The Constitution of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America: Containing the Confession of Faith, the Catechisms, and the Directory for the Worship of God
In 1792 a committee was appointed to select and arrange the Proof Texts. That committee reported to the Assembly of 1794, and their work was referred to another committee, with directions to compare the proofs with those annexed to the Westminster Confession, Catechisms, and Directory, to revise the whole, and to publish an edition of the Standards with the proofs annexed. In accordance with that order, and further order by the Assembly of 1796, the new book was published in 1797.
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.
The only amendment of the Confession of Faith since 1788 was effected in 1886 - 87 by striking out from Chapter xxiv. Section 4, the clause forbidding marriage with a deceased wife''s sister.
The Book of Discipline was entirely reconstructed and adopted in 1884-85.
