what event created the dutch reformed church?
synod of emden
the reformation was a time of religious violence and persecution by the established catholic church and governments, in some cases. efforts to form a reformed church in the southern provinces stemmed from a secret meeting of protestant leaders at antwerp in 1566, and despite spanish repression, many nobles joined the protestant movement. two years later, in 1568, following an attack on the netherlands by the forces of the duke of alba, many netherlanders fled to the german city of wesel, where a synod was convened at which the belgic confession and heidelberg catechism were adopted, and provisions were made for the offices of pastor, elder, teacher and deacon. the first synod of 23 dutch reformed leaders was held in october 1571 in the german city of emden. the synod of emden is generally considered to be the founding of the dutch reformed church, the oldest of the reformed churches in the netherlands. the synod both affirmed the actions of the earlier synod of wesel, as well as established presbyterian church government for the dutch reformed church.
