=== Reformed Christianity === '''[[w:Calvinism|Calvinism]]''' (also called the Reformed tradition, Reformed Christianity, Reformed Protestantism, or the Reformed faith) is a major branch of [[w:Protestantism]] that follows the theological tradition and forms of [[w:Christianity|Christian]] practice set down by [[w:John Calvin]] and other [[w:Protestant Reformation|Reformation-era]] [[w:Protestant Reformers|theologians]]. Calvinists broke from the [[w:Catholic Church|Roman Catholic Church]] in the 16th century. Calvinists differ from [[w:Lutheranism|Lutherans]] (another major branch of the Reformation) on the [[w:real presence of Christ in the Eucharist]], [[w:regulative principle of worship|theories of worship]], and the [[w:Law and Gospel#Lutheran and Reformed differences|use of God's law for believers]], among other things.<ref>{{cite book |last=Schaff |first=Philip |title=New Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge |chapter=Protestantism |pages=297–299 |volume=IX |chapter-url=http://www.ccel.org/ccel/schaff/encyc09.protestantism.html#protestantism-p89.1}}</ref><ref name=muller>{{cite book |last=Muller |first=Richard A.|title=Dictionary of Latin and Greek Theological Terms: Drawn Principally from Protestant Scholastic Theology |year=2006|publisher=Baker Book House|isbn=978-0801020643|pages=320–321|edition=1st}}</ref> The term ''Calvinism'' can be misleading, because the religious tradition which it denotes has always been diverse, with a wide range of influences rather than a single founder; however almost all of them drew heavily from the writings of [[w:Augustine of Hippo]] a millennium prior.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Hill |first1=Graham |title=Augustine’s Influence on Calvin, Luther, and Zwingli |url=https://theglobalchurchproject.com/augustines-influence-calvin-luther-zwingli/ |website=The Global Church Project |accessdate=3 December 2019}}</ref> In the context of the Reformation, [[w:Huldrych Zwingli]] began the Reformed tradition in 1519 in the city of [[w:Zürich]]. His followers were instantly [[w:Labelling#Labelling in argumentation|labeled]] ''[[w:Zwinglians]]'', consistent with the Catholic practice of naming heresy after its founder. Very soon, Zwingli was joined by [[w:Martin Bucer]], [[w:Wolfgang Capito]], [[w:William Farel]], [[w:Johannes Oecolampadius]] and other early Reformed thinkers.

Prominent subgroups are the [[w:Dutch Reformed]], the [[w:Swiss Reformed]], the [[w:Reformed Church of France|French Reformed]] ([[w:Huguenots]]), the [[w:Hungarian Reformed]], and the [[w:Waldensians|Waldensian Church]] in Italy. # '''[[w:Presbyterian|Presbyterian]]''' is a part of the [[w:Reformed tradition]] within [[w:Protestantism]], which traces its origins to [[w:Great Britain]], particularly [[w:Scotland]]. Presbyterian churches derive their name from the [[w:presbyterian polity|presbyterian]] form of [[w:ecclesiastical polity|church government]], which is governed by representative assemblies of [[w:Presbyterian elder|elders]]. #* [[w:List of Presbyterian churches]] #* [[w:List of Presbyterian and Reformed denominations in North America]] #* [[w:List of Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) synods and presbyteries]] #* [[w:List of Presbyterian churches in the United States]] #* [[w:List_of_Christian_denominations#Presbyterianism]] # '''[[w:Evangelical Anglican|Evangelical Anglican]]''' - Evangelical Anglicanism or evangelical Episcopalianism is a tradition or [[w:Churchmanship|church party]] within [[w:Anglicanism]] that shares affinity with broader [[w:evangelicalism]]. Evangelical Anglicans share with other evangelicals the attributes of "conversionism, activism, biblicism and crucicentrism" identified by historian [[w:David Bebbington]] as central to evangelical identity. The emergence of evangelical churchmanship can be traced back to the [[w:First Great Awakening]] in America and the Evangelical Revival in Britain in the 18th century. In the 20th century, prominent figures have included [[w:John Stott]] and [[w:J. I. Packer]].
