	Prelacy
		The Prelacy office was established in New York City in 1958 and since that time the Prelacy churches in America have grown, membership has increased, and over the years, the Prelacy has been responsible for a continuing program of community-wide activities: religious, educational, cultural, and social.
		The demographic center of the Eastern Prelacy is in the northeast, the Armenian population being concentrated most heavily in the U.S. Megalopolis (New England to the District of Columbia) and in the Canadian provinces of Quebec and Ontario.
		The social services provided by the Prelacy are used most often by new émigrés who are unfamiliar with the American way of life, who may need immigration or naturalization assistance, or help in adjusting to their new environment.

		Specifically, after Melville died, James VI pressed the claims of an absolute monarch; and his policy was followed by Charles I. The Stuarts were convinced, and correctly so, that Presbyterianism was a threat to their claims of absolute rule.
		They favored what was known as prelacy, the form of church government practiced in the Anglican Church in England, a system of church government much like Rome's with archbishops, bishops, and lower clergy.
		The difficulty was that along with prelacy came other evils: the right of kings to rule in affairs of the church, episcopal liturgical practices in the worship services, and oftentimes the dreadful heresy of Arminianism.

		The catholicos Kefsizian attached them to the prelacy of Gurin, but later was forced to give them back to the prelacy of Yozgat, from which they were again taken in 1890 and attached to Gurin.
		The prelacy of Yozgat was attached to the prelacy of Ankara between (1854-1858), for the prelate of Yozgat, Fr.
		Previously, only five of these villages belonged to the prelacy of Gurin; the remaining 20 (the most important of which was Gemerek) were within the spiritual jurisdiction of the prelacy of Yozgat.

	Testimony: The Church and Government
		A proper structure in church government is essential to preserve good order and to maintain the purity and peace of the Church.
		Prelacy, represented by Anglicanism, holds that there are different orders such as deacons, priests, canons, deans, bishops and archbishops.
		Prelacy makes a clear distinction between 'clergy' and the 'laity'.

		The Stuart kings were determined to impose prelacy on the realm; the Presbyterians were determined to resist it.
		While we have discussed the stories of leaders and theologians who bravely opposed prelacy but died "normal" deaths, the pages of Scotland's history are covered with the blood of many martyrs who suffered the cruelest of torments and finally were killed for the sake of their faith.
		But this was a crime in the eyes of the law, and, although she was never caught in the act, the soldiers, who knew her absence from church and opposition to prelacy, took every opportunity to plunder her farm and rob her of her few possessions.

	The Second Reformation
		The monarch of that day assumed his haughty and usurped prerogative of supremacy in all things; the liberty of the church was invaded; her assemblies were interdicted; and preparation was being made for imposing prelacy upon the church by dint of royal authority.
		Accordingly, with this view, the League and Covenant was prepared, stipulating for the preservation of the reformed religion in the Church of Scotland, and reformation of religion in England and Ireland.
		From this reformation being specially directed against Prelacy, it related chiefly to matters connected with the institutions and polity of the church, and to political affairs, in connection with religion, and the interests of the church.

		We beg farther to premise, however, that while there is much to deplore and condemn, both in the constitution and practice of the Church of England, we do not deny that she is a church of Christ.
		In regard again to the argument founded upon the alleged prelacy of Timothy at Ephesus, and Titus in Crete, it is sufficient to observe that, like all other arguments in support of the hierarchy, it is merely an assumption destitute of all proof.
		Thank God these times have passed away, and it is beginning at last to be felt and acknowledged that the covenanters died not as a fool dieth, but laid down their lives in defence of the highest and holiest principles for which free men and christians can contend.

	Milton: Doctrine and Discipline of Divorce - Notes
		In Reason of Church Government Milton's most frequent charge against prelacy is that, reform it however you choose, it will inevitably lead the country back to popish slavery; his second most frequent (and related) allegation is that prelacy un-mans men.
		Milton personifies prelacy as a whore, "making merchandise" of men's souls and bodies, inasmuch as men's souls and bodies are what literally is signified by the feminine personification of the church prelatical -- that is, the Great Whore.
		To Milton, canon law was just another weapon used by the Great Whore against men, and since the English church continued to enforce such laws governing marriage and divorce, she was the whore's accomplice.
