COMMENTARY
UNDERLINED TERMS ARE DEFINED IN THE GLOSSARY.
As part of their return to apostolic purity, all the Protestant churches were in some measure hostile to the representation of God in human form, to the use of images in worship, to praying to saints, and to the mediating role of the priesthood. A French Protestant church is bare of images, the only decoration being texts and heraldrythe study of the meaning of emblems and coats of arms, with the rules governing their use.. Instead of an altar, the pulpit is the focus of the service.
