REFORMED CHURCHES  , the name assumed by those

Protestant bodies who adopted the tenets of Zwingli (and later of Calvin), as distinguished from those of the Lutheran or Evangelical divines . They are accordingly often spoken of as the Calvinistic Churches, Protestant being sometimes used as a synonym for Lutheran . The great difference is in the attitude towards the Lord's Supper, the Reformed or Calvinistic Churches repudiating not only transubstantiation but also the Lutheran consubstantiation . They also reject the use of crucifixes and other symbols and ceremonies retained by the Lutherans . Full details of these divergences are given in M . Schneckenburger, Vergleichende Darstellung des lutherischen and reformierten Lehrbegriffs (Stuttgart, 1855) ; G . B . Winer, Comparative Darstellung (Berlin, 1866; Eng. tr., Edinburgh, 1873) . See also REFORMATION; PRESBYTERIANISM; CAMERONIANS .
