The Presbyterian Church experienced significant splits primarily due to theological disagreements and differing views on governance. Major schisms occurred during the 19th century over issues such as the interpretation of scripture, the role of women in the church, and the relationship between church and state. The most notable split was the Old School/New School controversy in the 1830s, which revolved around questions of revivalism and social issues. More recent divisions have often centered on debates over sexuality and ordination practices.
