Hello Sandra, RE: Non-Subscribing Presbyterian Church i.e. they did not subscribe to the ‘Westminster Confession of Faith’ – this resulted from a dispute within Presbyterianism in the 1820s between Dr. Henry Cooke who held ‘orthodox Presbyterian’ views and Dr. Henry Montgomery who held ‘liberal’ views i.e. Arian/Unitarian – not believing in the Deity of Christ. As a result the Non-Subscribing Presbyterians ‘split’ and formed their own ‘Remonstrant Synod’ in 1830. best regards Robert www.ulsterancestry.com >From: "Sandra L More" <sandramore@sbcglobal.net> >Reply-To: "Sandra L More" <sandramore@sbcglobal.net> >To: Scotch-Irish-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: [Sc-Ir] Religious question sort of >Date: Sat, 20 Aug 2005 14:43:47 -0700 > >I've got a couple of family members with burial records that conflict -- I >think. > >One set of records say they are buried in the Unitarian graveyard in >Downpatrick, the other says they're in the Non-subscribing Presbyterian >Graveyard. > >Are these different terms for the same thing?
