• Addresses for church officials.
• Lists of church jurisdictions and headquarters.
• Chronological lists of principal church officials.
• Brief biographies or career summaries of ministers.
  • Fasti Ecclesiae Scoticanae - the succession of ministers in the parish churches of Scotland
• Addresses of church schools or other institutions.
