The Presbyterian denominations have systems of representative government. Each local congregation elects "elders" who serve on the session, which is the ruling committee with the authority for that congregation. Each session elects "presbyters" to represent that congregation at the local governing level, which is the Presbytery. Presbyteries, in turn, elect representatives to regional bodies known as Synods, as well as representatives to the National General Assembly which meets every two years. All of these governing bodies, session, Presbytery, Synod and General Assembly, are in charge of the Presbyterian Church.

Is it fair to say that bishops were an indirect part of early Presbyterian history even though we view them as elders?
No, because the function of bishops is carried out by the group of elected elders in each geographical district. Both the district and the group of elders are called "the Presbytery." A Presbyterian elder is not, in any way, the equivalent to a bishop. To say that bishops were an indirect part of any period of Presbyterian history would have no rational meaning.

What is a presbyterian lie?
A Presbyterian lie would be any untrue statement presented by someone claiming to represent one of the Presbyterian denominations. In the same sense, a Baptist or Roman Catholic or Lutheran or Episcopalian or Mormon lie would be any untrue statement presented by persons claiming to represent one of those denominations. No single religious group can be more or less identified with lies (false statements) than any other religious group.
