I wonder if anyone knows of the 'Synod of Dort' ? 1618 and it seems that not everyone was all excited about this Calvinism. Especially is one were a follower of Jacob Arminius. Was anyone persecuted for being one of his followers ? The Arminiainists had much difficulty with Beza and Calvin, so much so that in 1610 a nifty little document was produced 'The Remonstrance'. Now all you folks who are of Dutch ancestry will most likely know of this document which was directly opposite the thoughts of Calvinist doctrine. Does anyone have any information or had ancestors who were strongly involved with the beginnings of this side of the Reformation ? I do hope that there are not too many who still believe that the Reformation was all to do with this Calvin character, after all, it did begin before his birth and ended long after his death. Some would even venture that it continues to this day. Kind Regards, Peter Leroy
