Should There Be More Emphasis on Rejection of Bishops?

Knowing nigh on nothing of the history, I am curious if the lede and article more broadly should emphasize that the presbytery was adopted as a rejection of the hierarchy of bishops, as is noted in Footnote 13, quoting James Rankin. This may not be the case and it might be offensive to describe the faith as based on what it rejects but I expected to find much more discussion of bishops here.

Should probably be emphasized in the history section, which needs a lot of work. --Jfhutson (talk) 16:41, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, and also of the idea of the "only king and head of the church" being Jesus. St Anselm (talk) 16:42, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The Lord's prayer

The correct way to pray to God says, "Our Father who is in Heaven Hallowed be Your Name, Your Kingdom comes, Your will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven! Give us this day our daily bread! Forgive us for our sins as we forgive those who sin against us! And lead us not into temptation but, deliver us from the evil one!" Amen! Jesus taught us and Jesus is God! Jesus loves and created all of the Archangels and people and animals and plants! 2601:601:781:C180:CDF0:DFF3:8012:EDC4 (talk) 13:34, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
