Prima scriptura is a doctrine that says canonized scripture is "first" or "above all" sources of divine revelation. Implicitly, this view acknowledges that, besides canonical scripture, there are other guides for what a believer should believe, and how he should live, such as the created order, traditions, charismatic gifts, mystical insight, angelic visitations, conscience, common sense, the views of experts, the spirit of the times or something else. Prima scriptura suggests that ways of knowing or understanding God and his will, that do not originate from canonized scripture, are in a second place, perhaps...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A number of Christian denominations and scholars hold that Simon Peter was the most prominent of the apostles, favored by Jesus of Nazareth. As such, it is argued that Peter held the first place of honor and authority, and that this primacy should extend in perpetuity over other bishops throughout the Church. This doctrine is known as the Primacy of Simon Peter or the Petrine Primacy. A number of traditions, most notably Roman Catholic, hold that Simon Peter was the first Bishop of Antioch, as well as the first Bishop of Rome. Critical scholars point out, however, that bishops in the early Christian church probably did not perform their functions and roles in the manner that evolved in later...

Primasius (d. about 560) was bishop of Hadrumetum and primate of Byzacena, in Africa. Of his early life nothing seems to be known, but in 551, after he had become a bishop, he was called with other bishops to Constantinople and took part in the Three Chapters Controversy.

He declined to attend the Fifth Ecumenical Council at Constantinople in the absence of the pope, and was the sole African to sign the papal constitutum to Justinian; he...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Primate (from the Latin primas, "principal") is a title or rank bestowed on some bishops in certain Latin rite churches. Depending on the particular tradition, it can denote either jurisdictional authority (title of authority) or ceremonial precedence (title of honour). In the Western Church, a Primate is an archbishop—or rarely a suffragan or exempt bishop—of a specific episcopal see (called a primatial see) which confers precedence over the bishops of one or more neighboring ecclesiastical provinces, such as a 'national' church in historical, political, and cultural terms. Historically, primates were granted privileges including the authority to call and preside at national synods, the...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Primitive Apostolic Christianity or Sabbatarianism is movement that attempts to reconstruct the earliest forms of Christianity. Critics see it as an effort to combine the Old Testament laws of Judaism with Christianity. The movement is often called Primitive since its followers believe their movement to reconstruct the earliest forms of Christianity. It is called Apostolic since its followers believe it to represent the form of Christianity that the twelve Apostles followed. It requires that Christians follow certain Old Testament practices, such as keeping Jewish Sabbath, and thus is often criticized as a modern revival of the Judaizers of the Epistles and the Ebionites.

The Primitive Methodist Church still exists in the United States. Primitive Methodism was born in Staffordshire in 1811, when two groups joined—the 'Camp Meeting Methodists' and the 'Clowesites', led by Hugh Bourne and William Clowes respectively. The movement was spawned from the personal followings of these men. Bourne and Clowes were charismatic evangelists with a rebellious streak. Both had reputations for zeal and were sympathetic to ideas the Wesleyan Connexion condemned. Their belief most unacceptable to the Wesleyan Connexion was support for "Camp Meetings." These were...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Primitive Methodist Church is a body of evangelical Christians within the Methodist denomination, which began in England in the early 19th century, with the influence of American evangelist Lorenzo Dow (1777–1834). The leaders who originated Primitive Methodism were attempting to restore a spirit of revivalism as they felt was found in the ministry of John Wesley, with no intent of forming a new church. Hugh Bourne (1772–1852) and William Clowes (1780–1851), preachers in the Wesleyan Church, heard of the results of American camp meetings. They held a camp meeting on May 31, 1807 at Mow Cop, which resulted in many converts. But the Wesleyan Church refused to admit these converts to the...

The secular territory ruled by the head of an abbey is known as Prince-Abbacy or Abbey-principality. The holder, however, does not hold the ecclesiastical office of a Bishop. The designated abbey may be a community of either monks or nuns. Thus, because of the possibility of it being a female monastery, an abbey-principality is one of the few cases in which the rule can be restricted to female incumbents, styled Princess-Abbess. In some cases, the holder was a Prince of the Holy...
