[edit] Reformed churches in the U.K. and Ireland

The new header shifts the scope from geographical to political regions. Unfortunately, in doing so it is redundant, because Ireland is in the U.K. "Britain and Ireland", on the other hand, are two islands in the North Atlantic. They aren't going to move; but the political boundaries probably will, some day. I think we should stick with geographical regions, for that reason. Is there objection to that reasoning? Mkmcconn

Except for the statement 'Ireland is in the UK', it was a good job to change the title back to being geographically-based. I think I changed it in the first place, against my better judgement. Thanks, good work, Mkmcconn. Peace. --Kaihsu 15:48 Apr 18, 2003 (UTC)

Thank you. Re:Ireland - :-) well - to be accurate, "Northern Ireland is in the U.K." - but, I suppose that makes the point that much clearer. I'm grateful for your cooperative spirit. Mkmcconn

[edit] Really fine improvements

Really fine improvements to this article, lately. I hope that all those red links will get some attention, over time (especially those to creeds and to Calvin's Institutes). Mkmcconn 20:08 18 Jul 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Split the article?

Should we consider splitting the article into two articles: Reformed churches and List of Reformed churches? Alan Liefting 01:07, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

I came to this talk page to discuss how I think there should be more content on the development of Reformed Churches within the United States. I think this is in line with Alan Liefting's intuition that there needs to be a distinction between just listing all the churchs and saying how they came about. RCUS may be a partial solution but I agree that this article is looking like at list at this point. Perhaps move the listy stuff to a list article. MPS 15:54, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

I agree, that this article over time has evolved into a list - this happened because its original aim was to describe these churches as a family tree, in terms of history and documents of faith, that has branched out all over the world. But it is always in danger of becoming nothing more than a list. This is made the more obvious by the recent inclusion of Baptist groups, which if it were a continuing trend would make it useless even as a list. — Mark (Mkmcconn) ** 23:39, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New category: Reformed seminaries and theological colleges

I have made a new category:

Category:Reformed seminaries and theological colleges

If you are editing a college article, please consider adding it to the category (or one of its sub-categories) by adding:

[[Category:Reformed seminaries and theological colleges]]

at the bottom of the article. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 10:09, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Delete the parent Category:Seminaries and theological colleges unless the college also has a strong non-Reformed churches affiliation. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 10:09, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Removed cfdnotice, cfd has completed. --Kbdank71 16:51, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] What is reformed theology

There doesn't appear to be an adequate description of what the content of reformed theology is, compared to other theologies. Such a section could also include links to other articles that go into more detail, such as TULIP. 210.9.200.35 01:41, 27 April 2007 (UTC) That was me, didn't log in. Bernard S.
