Presbyterianismwas brought,from1617onwards, bytheEnglishPuritansand bylaterimmigrationfrom ScotlandandNorthIreland. ThefirstorganisedPresbyterywasconstitutedatPhiladelphiain1706,developingintoaregularlyestablishedSynodin1717.

The"WestminsterConfession,"togetherwiththe LargerandShorterCatechismsoftheWestminster Divines,wasadoptedasthe doctrinalstandard;andAmericanPresbyterianismbecamethetheologicalstrongholdoforthodoxProtestantismintheUnitedStatesfor almosttwocenturies.

Whiletheusualpolitical evasionswereliberallypractisedonbothsides,statementsfromSirWinston Churchillgaverisetothe hopethatTitowouldyield onthepoint.Instead,on hisreturnhome,therewas, ifanything,anintensificationofpressureonthe Church.Certainlynothing resemblingfreedomforreligionemerged.Itwas justanotherboostgone wrong.
