1793 Dutch Reformed Church Constitution America New York Netherlands Heidelberg

1793 Dutch Reformed Church Constitution America New York Netherlands Heidelberg 

A rare 18^th-century printing of the Constitution of the Dutch Reformed Church. Starting in the 17^th-century, Dutch settlers immigrated to the United States, bringing with them their Reformed Church doctrine and ideals, setting up churches and congregations around New England. This branch of the church required its own constitution, separate from that in the Netherlands, thus this constitution was penned to outline the doctrine and beliefs of the Church. It includes foundational beliefs, liturgies, canons, rules of the church government, and even articles explaining discipline within the church.
