  • The Presbyterial-Synodal Network and the Struggle for Toleration, 1566-1600
    CALVINIST COLOGNE: THE PRESBYTERIAL-SYNODAL NETWORK AND THE STRUGGLE FOR TOLERATION, 1566-1600 Glenn A. Callihan A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2021 Approved by: Jay M. Smith Brett E. Whalen Aleksandra Prica © 2021 Glenn A. Callihan ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Glenn A. Callihan: Calvinist Cologne: The Presbyterial-Synodal Network and the Struggle for Toleration, 1566-1600 (Under the direction of Jay M. Smith) This paper argues that the synodal network, courtesy of Dutch refugees fleeing Spanish persecution in the late 1560s, gave the German-speaking Reformed congregation in Cologne the tools they required to plant deep roots in a Catholic city. Through mutual aid and solidarity, these roots enabled the congregation to survive its infancy and emerge in a strong position by the outbreak of the Cologne War in 1583. After the war, as a result of the synodal network, the Reformed congregation in Cologne managed to secure a form of ‘implicit toleration’ from the city magistracy. This toleration was characterized neither by magistrates turning a blind eye to their activities, nor by sharing of religious spaces, but rather it came as a consequence of the difficulty the magistracy had in excising the congregation from the city. iii For my mentor Joseph P. Huffman. My presence here at the University of North Carolina rests squarely on your shoulders. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my dearest thanks to a small number of people who made this project possible.
