Abstract
The establishment of the Spanish Reformed churches from 1868–72 was characterized by the desire of Scottish missionaries to create Reformed congregations as an alternative to the Roman Church. Largely imbued with the postmillennial view of our Lord's return, Scottish missionaries labored to impart the theology of the Puritans and the Westminster Confession and to convert the Jews, hoping that their endeavors would usher in the return of Christ. Their activities resulted in the first General assembly in 1869, the establishment of the Spanish Christian Church (ICE) in 1871, and the adoption of a common Confession of Faith and Psalter in 1872.
