    Only really present in the 'Celtic Fringes' ie: Scotland and Northern Ireland. In England, the main Presbies merged with the Congregational Church(es) in 1971, are now known as the United Reformed Church and are about as conservative as TEC in the US, so no way would I be recommending them to the in-laws!

    Matt, they are going to do what they are going to do. I would gather that they are not amorous toward Anglicanism either. Have you at least spoken directly with guys like Dave Lamb or Steve Owen over in the UK?

    With these requirements as a start - plus the infant/covenant baptism, I don't see how this can correspond to a Baptist church. The two just seem so far apart. There is an Evangelical Presbyterian Church in England and Wales (EPCEW) denomination. It seems to be a fairly small denomination -- see http://www.epcew.org.uk/, but it may be a better fit -- of course, depending upon their location.

    These guys seem sound but they don't have any congos near my in-laws (south London). The reason I plumped for Baptists as a possible ship for them to jump to is that F-i-L in particular has spoken with great affection of Baptists he has known as being men of faith, and is an admirer of Spurgeon as well.

    As am I. :thumbsup:

    I have friends there who attend an evangelical church, though I don't know the details. I think they are south of the city as well. I'll try to find out where they attend and let you know.

    Both are still here and those in between.

    Presbyterian Church (USA) - www.pcusa.org
    Cumberland Presbyterian Church - www.cumberland.org
    Evangelical Presbyterian Church - www.epc.org
    Presbyterian Church in America - www.pcanet.org
    Orthodox Presbyterian Church - www.opc.org

    Personally, the church I attend is on the more conservative side.
