Westminster Confession
b. With reference to the assembly of theologians appointed by Parliament in 1643 to consider the doctrines and organization of the Church of England, or to the important confessional and liturgical documents issued by this body, esp. the Westminster Confession.The assembly, now known as the Westminster Assembly, held its first meeting in the Henry VII Chapel of Westminster Abbey, and subsequently met in the Jerusalem Chamber of the Abbey. The Westminster Confession (1646) was adopted by the Church of Scotland and many other Protestant denominations as their basis of faith (with various modifications).
