 | | So has the Presbyterian Church, with people of many different origins worshipping in our local congregations as well as in congregations which cater for specific ethnic groups, such as Arabic, Chinese, Cook Island, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Portugese, Samoan, Spanish. |
 | | The spiritual leaders of the Presbyterian Church are called 'ministers' (who are particularly responsible for preaching) and 'elders' (who join with the ministers in exercising pastoral care and oversight in the congregations and courts of the church). |
