It was given by Christ. It descended to the Apostles. From the Apostles it was handed on to the Church Fathers, and so to the leaders of the Reformation of the 16th Century. By 1500 the Reformation of the Holy Catholic Church, eagerly awaited for three centuries by devout Christians, was long overdue. In spite of papal fury when Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses on the door of the Castle Church at Wittenberg he would not retract them. He could not be silenced and stood firm at the Diet of Worms in 1521. European churchmen knew that both a liberator and a day of liberation had arrived.

In 1532 William Fare!, a preacher of the Reformation, came to Geneva. In an uprising in 1536 the people seized the Cathedral of St. Pierre and made him minister. The Great Coun­ cil of Geneva abolished the Mass in the same year. Through the leadership of John Calvin, who came to the city in 1536, a system of church government was set up, and a school founded for the training of Reformation clergymen.

Coming down the center aisle following the shaft of the cross the first mosaic is that of the Church of Scotland to which the Reformed Faith was carried from Switzerland. Then comes the Crest of the Presbyterian Church of England.

Apostolic times, and he favored the creation of provincial synods and a council of Presbyters in each diocese. Reformation theology permeates the 39 Articles of the Church of England. John Knox was one of the signers of these Articles. Thousands of persecuted followers of the Reformed Faith fled to England from Holland and France in 1567, and formed a large Presbyterian party there. In 1572 the first Presbytery in England was set up, and by 1640 four of the leading clergymen of the Scottish Church came to England to urge the establish­ ment of . The Long Parliament of 1642 abolished the Episcopacy, and in 1643 summoned a gathering of clergymen to establish the Westminster Assembly from which came the Confession, Directory, and Catechisms of the Presbyterian Church. With the Restoration in 1660 Episcopacy was reestablished in England. In 1876 all branches of the Presbyterian Church in England were united in one organization called the Presbyterian Church in England. When the chapel was built, space was left on the floor at the entrance for a mosaic to cele­ brate the reunion of the Presbyterian churches throughout the country. Slavery and secession had created such tensions within the churches that harmony was not restored until 1983. A seal was then designed, and in mosaic form, was placed in its assigned space in the chapel floor. The brilliant colors of the mosaic make a symbolic statement of the church's heritage, identity and mission in contemporary form. The basic symbols are the cross, the dove and flowers. The dominant structural and theological element in the design is the Celtic Cross which was chosen because of its associa­ tion with Presbyterian history. The descending dove symbolizes the Holy Spirit which both inspires and interprets scriputre in the life of the church. The flowers are a traditional symbol of the Trinity.

This work, known as the Vulgate, was the common text of the Bible in the western world until the King James Version in 1611. It was the reading of this Vulgate by Wycliffe, Huss, Luther, and Calvin and their followers that made the Reformation possible. A Bible known and read by Christians is a cardinal doctrine of the Reformed Faith.

Augustine (354-430) One of the greatest theologians, writers and defenders of the historic Faith. He was the Church Father most often quoted by Calvin. Augustine was the first modern man and also the last great man of antiquity, to stress the absolute sovereignty of God. He spoke of a religion of faith, not works, as basic to man's understanding of God in Christ. The hope of the world was not in the deeds of men, but in the mercy and love of God.
