Presbyterianism is a branch of mainstream Christianity that emphasizes the governance of the church by elected elders. This is different from other branches of Christianity, such as Catholicism or Anglicanism, which have hierarchical structures with bishops and a centralized authority. Additionally, Presbyterianism places a strong emphasis on the sovereignty of God and the authority of scripture in guiding beliefs and practices.
