Synod of Dort

The Synod of Dort was a significant religious meeting held in 1618-1619 by Dutch Reformed church leaders. It was convened to address disagreements over theological ideas, especially about salvation and God's sovereignty. The assembly clarified key doctrines, rejecting certain teachings and affirming the Calvinist view that God predestines some people to salvation. Its decisions shaped Reformed theology and still influence Protestant doctrine today. The Synod aimed to unify believers by defining clear theological positions, promoting doctrinal consistency within the church.
