Congregation of Christ
a. Scottish History. The designation given to the party of Protestant Reformers during the reign of Mary. (Also Congregation of Christ, Congregation of the Lord.) The term appears to have originated in the language of the National Covenant, subscribed 3 December 1557, in which the word occurs 8 times (in the sense ‘church’, as in 6a).
