SYNOD OF DORT

The Synod of Dort was an assembly of Protestant divines convoked at Dort in 1618-19. Besides the Dutch and Walloon divines, it included representatives from England, Scotland, Switzerland, and part of Germany, in all about 62 native and 24 foreign deputies. The synod was convoked principally for the sake of crushing the Arminian party, and extreme measures were taken to prevent that party being represented in the assembly or having a free voice there. The result was the condemnation of the Arminians and the dogmatic establishment of Calvinism in the Reformed church. The synod also set on foot the Dutch translation of the Bible known as the Dort Bible.
