REMONSTRANTS , the name given to those Dutch Protestants who, after the See also:death of See also:Arminius (q.v.), maintained the views associated with his name, and in 1610 presented to the states of See also:- HOLLAND
- HOLLAND, CHARLES (1733–1769)
- HOLLAND, COUNTY AND PROVINCE OF
- HOLLAND, HENRY FOX, 1ST BARON (1705–1774)
- HOLLAND, HENRY RICH, 1ST EARL OF (1S9o-,649)
- HOLLAND, HENRY RICHARD VASSALL FOX, 3RD
- HOLLAND, JOSIAH GILBERT (1819-1881)
- HOLLAND, PHILEMON (1552-1637)
- HOLLAND, RICHARD, or RICHARD DE HOLANDE (fl. 1450)
- HOLLAND, SIR HENRY, BART
Holland and See also:Friesland a " remonstrance " in five articles formulating their points of departure from stricter Calvinism. These were: (1) that the divine See also:decree of See also:predestination is conditional, not See also:absolute; (2) that the See also:Atonement is in intention universal; (3) that See also:man cannot of himself exercise a saving faith; (4) that though the See also:- GRACE (Fr. grace, Lat. gratia, from grates, beloved, pleasing; formed from the root cra-, Gr. xav-, cf. xaipw, x6p,ua, Xapts)
- GRACE, WILLIAM GILBERT (1848– )
grace of See also:God is a necessary See also:condition of human effort it does not See also:act irresistibly in man; (5) that believers are able to resist See also:sin but are not beyond the possibility of falling from grace. Their adversaries (the Gomarists) met them with a " See also:counter-remonstrance," and so were known as the Counter-Remonstrants. Although the states-See also:general issued an See also:edict tolerating both parties and forbidding further dispute, the conflict continued, and the Remonstrants were assailed both by See also:personal enemies and by the See also:political weapons of See also:Maurice of See also:Orange, who executed and imprisoned their leaders for holding republican views. In 1618–rg the See also:synod of See also:Dort (see DORT; SYNOD OF), the thirteen Arminian pastors headed by See also:Simon See also:Episcopius (q.v.) being shut out, established the victory of the Calvinist school, See also:drew up ninety-three canonical rules, and confirmed the authority of the Belgic See also:Confession and the See also:Heidelberg See also:Catechism. The See also:judgment of the synod was enforced by the deposition and in some cases the banishment of Remonstrant ministers; but the See also:government soon became convinced that their party was not dangerous to the See also:state, and in 2630 they were formally allowed See also:liberty to reside in all parts of Holland and build churches and See also:schools. In 1621 they had already received liberty to make a See also:settlement in See also:Schleswig, where they built the See also:town of Friedrichstadt. This See also:colony still exists. The See also:doctrine of the Remonstrants was embodied in 1621 in a confessio written by Episcopius, their See also:great theologian, while J. Uytenbogaert gave them a catechism and regulated their churchly See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")
- ORDER, HOLY
order. The Remonstrants adopted a See also:simple synodical constitution; but their importance was henceforth more theological than ecclesiastical. Their See also:seminary in See also:Amsterdam has boasted of many distinguished names—Curcellaeus, See also:Limborch, See also:Wetstein, Le Clerc; and their liberal school of See also:theology, which naturally See also:grew more liberal and even rationalistic, reacted powerfully on the state See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

- CHURCH, GEORGE EARL (1835–1910)
- CHURCH, RICHARD WILLIAM (1815–189o)
- CHURCH, SIR RICHARD (1784–1873)
church and on other See also:Christian denominations. The Remonstrants first received See also:official recognition in 1795. As a church they now number 27 communities with about 12,500. members, in a flourishing condition and respected for their traditions of scholarship and liberal thought. Their See also:chief See also:congregation is in See also:Rotterdam.
