The Westminster Assembly of Divines convened in Westminster Abbey during the time of the Long Parliament, 1643-1648. Commissioned originally to bring clarity to the theological convictions of the Church of England, the Assembly of Divines drafted several important documents that would also influence the Church of Scotland, and the Puritan movement in general. Among those documents were the Westminster Confession of Faith, the Westminster Shorter Catechism, the Larger Catechism, and a Form of Presbyterial Church Government. Though lesser used today than the other documents, the Form of Presbyterial Church Government nevertheless gives reformed congregations a strong and reliable guide for ordering their churches, ordained officers, and presbyteries.
