Editing Primus inter pares (section)

===Reformed and Presbyterianism===
The [[Moderator of the General Assembly]] in a [[Presbyterianism|Presbyterian church]] is similarly designated as a {{lang|la|primus inter pares}}. This concept holds also for the Moderators of each [[Presbyterian polity|Synod]], [[Presbyterian polity|Presbytery]], and [[Session (Presbyterianism)|Kirk Session]]. As all elders are ordained – some for teaching and some for ruling – none sit in higher status, but all are considered equal behind the one and only head of the church Jesus Christ.<ref>[[:s:The Confession of Faith of the Assembly of Divines at Westminster#Chapter 25|Westminster Confession of Faith Chapter XXV, article vi]]</ref>

In churches and denominations with a three office view (i.e., there are three ecclesiastical offices; namely minister, elder, and deacon), the minister does not hold more ruling authority than the elders, but has additional duties of administering the sacraments and preaching. He is also expected to lead the session or consistory of elders.
