Council of Boulogne

The Council of Boulogne, held in 1550 in Boulogne, France, was an important meeting of Protestant leaders, primarily focusing on issues of church governance and reform within the Protestant movement. It aimed to address doctrinal differences and strengthen alliances among various Protestant groups in Europe, particularly amid the tensions with Catholic nations. The council highlighted the need for unity among Protestant reformers and sought to establish common guidelines to promote their religious beliefs and practices, which were increasingly threatened by Catholic opposition. It was a key event in the broader context of the Protestant Reformation.
