Here are your matches:

  • PRESBYTERIANISM originated in Scotland; gets its name from a form  of church government
  • ANABAPTISTS did not believe that infants should be baptized
  • ANGLICAN church started in England when Henry VIII broke from  the Catholic Church
  • HUGUENOTS originated in France and based on the writings  of John Calvin
  • CALVINISM developed in Switzerland with a central belief  in predestination

Some notes of explanation:

  • Saying the "Anglican" church is essentially the same as saying "The Church of England."  Henry VIII named himself head of the Church of England when breaking from the authority of the pope in Rome.
  • The Church of England was governed by a hierarchy of bishops, under the authority of the king or queen.  Churches in Scotland who wanted more authority for the lay elders (called "presbyters") of their congregations came to be known as Presbyterians.
  • "Anabaptist" means "baptizes again" -- it was a name that others applied to the group.  They would have called themselves simply "Baptists" because they did not believe infant baptism was a real baptism, so adults being baptized weren't being baptized "again," in their view.
  • John Calvin began his career in France before coming to Switzerland, thus having an impact on both places.
