The '''United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland''', also called the '''UK''', '''Britain''' or '''GB''', is a kingdom in western [[Europe]] comprising the Island of Britain and the northern provinces of the Island of Ireland. It is a union of four nations, [[England]], [[Wales]], [[Scotland]] and [[Northern Ireland]] (also known as [[Ulster]]), all under the rule of the British monarch from the capital city of [[London]]. | |||
Reformed Christianity finds much of it's origins in the UK. Though technically originating in southern [[France]] with [[John Calvin]], today both the largest Reformed denominations, [[Presbyterianism]] and [[Baptists|Reformed Baptism]], were formalised in UK. | |||
