The benches, generally called "pews," in contemporary Presbyterian churches are not divided for any reason other than the practicalities of seating arrangements. The trend in newer church buildings is for modular seating, with individual upholstered chairs that can be linked together into benches or other arrangements.

If annulment is approved, he does not need to join the Catholic Church, but must be willing to consent to her oath to bring up any children as catholic

Did the presbyterian church influence the formation of government for the US?
Yes - Presbyterians from Scotland were a significant group in the early colonies and they organized the church along Presbyterians lines, of course. One of the concepts that they employed in structuring their church government was that the authority in the church is divided among the various groups. Thus, the pastors have certain rights and duties, the Session (made up of people elected from the congregation) have others, and the local Presbytery (a group of Presbyterian churches in an geographical area) has yet another sets of rights and duties. For example, the Session alone determines the church budget, while the pastors are the ones who decide who should be baptized. However, the local Presbytery actually owns the church's property. This all sounds boring perhaps, as it is the old separation of powers in the Federal government as we learned in school. But the Presbyterians had the idea first and the US founders adopted it.

How is the presbyterian church organised?
The Presbyterian church is organized along representative lines, with the separation of powers between the various entities. (I know that this sounds like US Civics 101, but that's because - in the Presbyterian view - those ideas were copied from the Presbyterian church). The local church is governed by a board of representatives elected from the congregation. They are called elders and the board is the Session. In addition, the pastor or pastors of the church have certain rights and duties that the Session cannot dictate, such as what Scripture to read or who to baptize. On the other hand, only the Session can set the times and places of worship, and allocate the budget of the church. There are other rights and responsibilities, and these are spelled out in the Book of Order, which anyone can read and see. All the Presbyterian churches in a local area are joined together in a governing body called the Presbytery. The members of the Presbytery are the pastors in the respective churches plus elected representatives from the churches of the Presbytery equal in number to the Pastors. (This is so the laity and the ordained clergy are equal in determining the affairs of the Presbytery). The Presbytery has certain powers not allocated to the local church - for example, they are the ones who approve the educational training of those who want to be Presbyterian ministers and who ordain and install them in the local churches. The Presbytery also (most of the time) holds title to the church property, so it can (and has) close down a church that is not in line with Presbyterian beliefs. The highest governing body in the Presbyterian church is the General Assembly. It meets once a year or every two years and is made up of representatives elected to it by the Presbyteries. It sets general policy for the church and does those things best done at a national level, such as conduct foreign mission and support seminaries. There's more to be said - if you are interested, go to your local Presbyterian church and purchase a Book of Order and browse through it.

You are presbyterian and your fiancee is Catholic can you be married in a Catholic church?
You can, provided that the Catholic woman's priest permits the marriage to happen. Since you are Presbyterian, you will be required to agree that any future children are to be brought up with Catholic instruction and that you will not interfere with your spouse's faith. The Church is not enthusiastic about mixed marriages, as is probably evident. Further, since you do not share the Catholic Faith, your marriage in the Church will not be given the sacramental blessing that is only given in a marriage between two Catholics.
