Excerpt from Les Synodes du Désert, Vol. 1: Actes Et Règlements des Synodes Nationaux Et Provinciaux Tenus au Désert de France de l'An 1715 à l'An 1793
En Bretagne, où il n'y avait jamais eu qu'un petit nombre de reformés, ceux qui ne sont pas partis et qui restent, persévèrent. On a beau menacer les nouveaux convertis qui nefont pas leur devoir, ils continuent clandestinement le culte, dès qu'un prédicant apparait, comme ces familles protestantes qui viennent se fixer auprès du ebd teau de V ieillevigne poury écouter le prêche. Et à défaut de pasteurs, en Bretagne comme partout, des hommes de tout âge et de toute con dition réunissent leurs frères, et s'érigent en prédicateurs. A ce point que Seignelay s'inquiète, et que se rappelant qu'il n'y a de récom penses promises que pour la capture des mini/tres, il se hâte d'annoncer qu'on donnera 500 livres à ceux qui livreront les gens qui se seront mêlés de prêcher. 2.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the compelling history of the Huguenots, a French Protestant minority, following the revocation of the Edict of Nantes by King Louis XIV in 1685. It traces their valiant struggle to preserve their faith despite persecution and suppression. The author unveils the tireless work of Antoine Court, a pivotal figure who emerged as a beacon of hope and inspired the reorganization of the Huguenot faith. The book analyzes how, under Court's leadership, secret assemblies and synods were established, providing a clandestine framework for religious practices and the education of new ministers. Through insightful exploration of primary sources, the author sheds light on the sacrifices, resilience, and profound faith of the Huguenot communities. By contextualizing this history within the broader religious and political landscape of the time, this book offers a valuable perspective on the complexities of religious oppression and the tenacious power of belief. It highlights the indomitable spirit of the Huguenots, whose story resonates with themes of religious freedom, resilience, and the enduring strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
