RESUMO

This thesis presents a study of Reformed Theology thought as reflected in the Piratininga Presbytery (Presbitério Piratininga, São Paulo of the Igreja Presbiteriana do Brasil) assessing how this thought is manifested in its worship practices. It begins going back to the 16th Century Reformation Movement, considering Calvin as the synthesis of Reformed thought, especially in his understanding of worship. An examination of how this Reformed thought was developed in North American churches, is also presented, until, further on, it arrived in Brazil, especially in the sphere of influence of the Piratininga Presbytery. This is followed by an analysis of statements about worship services produced by the Piratininga Presbytery and by Rev. Boanerges Ribeiro. Finally, there is an analysis of liturgical practices in churches of this presbytery, from the standpoint of Reformed thought, verifying what has been preserved from a Reformed thought heritage, and what has been lost. Within this context the Brazilian Presbyterian Church is presented as being a confessional church of Reformed identity, which should express its faith through its worship services, being permanently careful about eventually incoming distortions.
