| | Covenanter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Covenanters are thus named because in a series of bands or covenants they bound themselves to maintain the Presbyterian doctrine and polity as the sole religion of their country. | | | The Covenanters are a radical Presbyterian movement that played an important part in the history of Scotland, and to a lesser extent in that of England, during the 17th century. | | | The Covenanters raised an army to resist Charles I's religious reforms, and defeated him in the Bishops Wars. |

| | Covenanter, turned scented Cavalier, James Sharp, Archbishop of St Andrews, 'and the curse of God with it,' the Judas of the Covenant, was hounding to the death the people of the Lord, cutting off 'the gangrene of dissent' which was his word for the slaying of the Lord's anointed. | | | Lives were being cut off in the dungeon, and stones cast upon them; the waters were overflowing the heads of many, and only Jesus was saying to them, 'Be strong, fear not,' when some of the hunted turned in their tracks and became hunters. | | | In mountain cave and on bloody field his heart and hands were in his words, all faithful things till that cruel day when no word to man was permitted him, and of heart and hands he had none. |

| | The Covenanter Theological Institute (CTI) was established in the autumn of 1999, by the Reformed Presbyterian Church of Scotland, following the success of the summer study course in Scottish Reformation and Covenanting History. | | | The purpose of CTI is to provide opportunities for those interested in learning more about their Christian faith with a definite focus on preparing men for leadership in the Church in Scotland. | | | Whilst we rejoice in God’s provision of leadership no matter where its source, it is essential for the future of the Scottish Church that the Scottish Church pick up where it left off in 1863 and once again train men for multiplying ministry in Scotland and beyond. |

| | The Banner of the Covenant |
| | The Reformed Presbyterian Church is the continuation of the Covenanter church in Scotland, and treasures the testimony and heritage which God has given to it. | | | The Reformed believers, known as Covenanters (from their support of the covenants), insisted on “the crown rights of King Jesus,” which brought them into conflict with those who supported “the divine rights of kings.” The blue banner bearing the motto “For Christ's Crown and Covenant” originated as a battle flag for these Covenanters. | | | During the period of most intense persecution (1680-1688), some 18,000 men, women, and children died in battle, were executed, killed without process of law, or exiled, for their faithfulness to “Christ's Crown and Covenant.” Since the end of “the killing time,” the Blue Banner has continued to serve as a symbol of the Reformed faith. |

| | Note: Classical formulations of the Covenanter's objection to the U.S. Constitution often include its recognition of the wicked institution of Negro slavery, the notable absence of a religious test for office holders, and no provision for the protection of Christ's church. | | | The new church, the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church, quickly adopted a non-Covenanter view of the civil magistate relationship to the Jesus Christ's mediatorial authority. | | | It is no surprise that in the period between 1798-1853 the centrality of God's revealed law for national jurisprudence became an oft discussed distinctive principle of the Reformed Presbyterian Church. |
