Relating to or characterized by government by presbyters or presbyteries; designating a particular form or system of church polity (see note); belonging to or maintaining this system.In Presbyterian Churches no higher order than that of presbyter or elder is recognized, the ‘bishop’ and ‘elder’ (see bishop n. 1a, elder n.3 4a) of the New Testament being held to be identical. All elders are ecclesiastically of equal rank; but, in their function in the church, while some are ‘ruling and teaching elders’ or ‘ministers’, others are only ‘ruling elders’ (popularly called ‘lay elders’, but erroneously, since all elders are ordained or ‘in orders’). Each congregation is governed by its session, consisting of the minister and the other elders (see kirk session n., also consistory n. 9); the sessions are subordinate to the presbytery (see also classis n. 1), the presbyteries to the synod, and (in most Presbyterian Churches) the synods to the General Assembly of the Church (see assembly n. 5b).Reformed, United Presbyterian, etc.: see the first element.
