 	Dissenters and Nonconformists
	</div>
 
 The terms "Dissenters" and "Nonconformists" traditionally refer to adherents of Christian groups that separated from or were established outside of the Anglican state church (or "established" church) in early modern England. In the metalinguistic sense, however, these terms can also be used for examples of religious deviance that manifested themselves in social forms in other historical and local contexts in modern Europe, and which were brought about by different circumstances and transfer processes. Ensuing from the traditional meaning of the terms, this article investigates the transfer context of the developments in Great Britain, illuminating exchange processes with the Netherlands in particular, and also relates it to the formation of "Free Churches" on the European continent.

 <h2>Theory: Norm Creation and Deviance</h2>
The terms "Dissenter", "Nonconformist" and also "Separatist" are all relational terms, which arose out of an emphasis on deviation from norms created by groups that were dominant within society.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_0">1</a><a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/de/threads/crossroads/religionsraeume-und-konfessionsraeume/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenter-und-nonkonformisten-phaenomene-religioeser-abweichung-zwischen-den-britischen-inseln-und-dem-europaeischen-kontinent#InsertNoteID_0"></a> They were thus examples of "self" and "other" categorizations that were often connected with value judgements and referred to processes of the formation and the enforcement of norms at a particular point in time. In modern <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4015701-5">Europe</a>, in the area of religion it was predominantly a state church or at least a church privileged by the authorities that laid down such norms &#8211; both as regards the doctrinal content to be adopted and the behavioural norms to be adhered to. In the academic literature, the distinction is thus sometimes made between "Dissent", which tended to imply conflict with orthodox doctrine, and "Nonconformism", which tended to refer to deviations from orthodox practice.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_2">2</a><a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/de/threads/crossroads/religionsraeume-und-konfessionsraeume/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenter-und-nonkonformisten-phaenomene-religioeser-abweichung-zwischen-den-britischen-inseln-und-dem-europaeischen-kontinent#InsertNoteID_1"></a> Research on deviating behaviour has entered historical studies from sociology and has focused in historical studies primarily on questions of criminality and research on marginal social groups. Nonconformism &#8211; particularly of the religious kind &#8211; fundamentally represented a destabilizing element in the cultural and social order, which the observer either viewed as a productive innovation or as a destructive danger, depending on his/her individual values.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_4">3</a><a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/de/threads/crossroads/religionsraeume-und-konfessionsraeume/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenter-und-nonkonformisten-phaenomene-religioeser-abweichung-zwischen-den-britischen-inseln-und-dem-europaeischen-kontinent#InsertNoteID_2"></a>
<h2>Prior Histories: Religious Nonconformism and Dissent in the Late Middle Ages and the Reformation</h2>
The "destructive danger" mode of interpretation manifested itself most potently in church history in the form of heresy trials, which were used to eliminate forms of deviation from church doctrine as far as possible and to minimize the danger to the social structure of the church. Of particular significance in the British context in this regard was the pre-Reformation movement known as the Lollards. This movement, which was based on the teachings of <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/68939042" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="John Wyclif (ca. 1330&#8211;1384)">John Wycliffe (ca. 1330&#8211;1384)</a> and which was fed by desire for reforms in the church and anti-clerical resentment, emphasized the equality of priests and lay people, devalued the sacraments compared with the Bible &#8211; which it was argued could be interpreted by any believer &#8211; and also pointed to the New Testament as a model and standard for the external structure of the church. The Lollards themselves did not found their own church structure. Instead, they held gatherings in their homes. Up to the 1530s, they were persecuted as heretics and are viewed as having been a "precursor of the Reformation" in <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4014770-8">England</a>.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_6">4</a><a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/de/threads/crossroads/religionsraeume-und-konfessionsraeume/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenter-und-nonkonformisten-phaenomene-religioeser-abweichung-zwischen-den-britischen-inseln-und-dem-europaeischen-kontinent#InsertNoteID_3"></a>
During the Reformation, which began on the continent earlier than in England, it was primarily Anabaptists and spiritualists who were marginalized because their positions deviated from those established by the authorities, and they are represented in the historiography as "deviating" forms of Reformation upheaval. The existence of very heterogeneous Anabaptist movements, which nonetheless share the principle &#8211; albeit with varying emphases &#8211; of adult baptism, is documented in the <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4078022-3">southern German</a> linguistic region from 1525 onward, in the <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4075454-6">northern German</a> and <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4042203-3">Dutch </a>linguistic region from 1530 onward, in Italy from about 1540 and from 1565 in the form of the Anabaptist-Antitrinitarian Polish brethren. This list already demonstrates that the traditional narrow focus both of normative Benderian research and of revisionist Anabaptist research<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_8">5</a> on German and Dutch Anabaptism should be dispensed with &#8211; particularly if one is investigating how the different contexts influenced and affected each other.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_10">6</a> Conceptualizations of a voluntary church were perceived as being politically explosive, as they undermined both the basis of the late-medieval social order and the national-church approaches of the Reformation leaders. In the Netherlands, the Anabaptists &#8211; in the form of the Mennonites &#8211; were granted a limited degree of toleration from 1570 onward. The Mennonites also received a legal status outside of the usual estate order in a number of territories of the Holy Roman Empire and in the <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4046496-9">kingdom of Poland</a> in the 16th century, which generated additional income for the authorities in those territories due to the economic power of the Anabaptists. Due to this pressure to be economically successful, but also due to their strong internal discipline, Anabaptist groups tolerated in this way tended to behave in a way that <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/64223445" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Michael Driedger (born 1967)">Michael Driedger (born 1967)</a> has described as "conforming nonconformity", that is, behaviour that compensates for religious deviation by intensively fulfilling the norms and expectations of society and of the authorities.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_12">7</a> Even though the historiography of Anabaptism does to a degree trace connections back to pre-Reformation movements, some of which &#8211; such as the Bohemian Brethren &#8211; used baptism as a means of conversion, there is no dependable historical evidence for this.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_14">8</a> Contrary to research of the 1960s, which made a much greater effort to establish clear classifications, more recent research places much greater emphasis on the transitions and grey areas between Anabaptism and spiritualism.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_16">9</a>
<h2>Dissenters and Nonconformists in Great Britain &#8211; and the Netherlands: a History of Relations</h2>
There is a certain plausibility to the thesis that the movements described above &#8211; along with <a data-class="internal-link" href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/jordan-ballor-w-bradford-littlejohn-european-calvinism-church-discipline" title="European Calvinism: Church Discipline">Calvinism</a>, which emerged subsequently &#8211; played a not insignificant role in the emergence of English Dissent. The continuity between the latter and Lollard traditions seems obvious, though it is very difficult to prove in individual cases. But it is very probable that there was a connection between English Dissent and Anabaptist views. There are indications that Anabaptist views had spread to England and proof that Anabaptists were subjected to persecution there as early as the 1530s,<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_18">10</a> and also a larger number of sources from the mid-16th century that prove that not only Dutch religious refugees but also English people propounded and adapted elements specifically of Melchiorite theology. This can be observed particularly clearly in regions with older Lollard traditions &#8211; which would appear to support the thesis of a connection between the two strands.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_20">11</a> It is also clear from the contemporary heresiological vocabulary that the term <a data-class="internal-link" href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/en/threads/europe-on-the-road/confessional-migration/geoffrey-dipple-confessional-migration-anabaptists-mennonites-hutterites-baptists-etc" title="Confessional Migration: Anabaptists &#8211; Mennonites, Hutterites, Baptists etc.">"Anabaptist"</a> was used to refer to those people who propounded "radical" views that were close to those of the Lollards and that were inspired by "heterodox" views from the Netherlands &#8211; without this necessarily being connected with a focus on believer&#8217;s baptism (baptism exclusively of people who are old enough to make an independent profession of faith).<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_22">12</a>
This already hints at the fact that the Netherlands was a space with which Great Britain was connected in numerous ways. On the one hand, there were the economic relationships, while on the other hand there was an intensive exchange in the area of religion, which in the 16th century initially consisted primarily of flows of religious refugees between the two countries. Initially, supporters of the Reformation of various hues from the southern provinces of the Netherlands sought refuge in England in the mid-16th century, which &#8211; along with refugees from other parts of the continent after the Augsburg Interim of 1548 &#8211; gave rise to separate foreign congregations.

Thus, under Browne's leadership and that of <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/54177037" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="John Robinson (ca.1575&#8211;1625)">John Robinson (ca.1575&#8211;1625)</a>, the ecclesiological foundations of Congregationalism were formulated for the first time.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_36">19</a><a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/de/threads/crossroads/religionsraeume-und-konfessionsraeume/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenter-und-nonkonformisten-phaenomene-religioeser-abweichung-zwischen-den-britischen-inseln-und-dem-europaeischen-kontinent#InsertNoteID_18"></a> In this way, the terms "Brownists" and "separatists" became the earliest terms denoting groupings outside of the English established church.
But they were only part of the Puritan movement, as the majority remained within the Church of England and did not make the step towards separation. This majority can still very much be described as "Nonconformists". While they remained in the established church under Elisabeth I, they refused to adhere to certain practices that they viewed as "Roman", which were demanded by the Act of Uniformity<a data-class="external-link" href="http://history.hanover.edu/texts/engref/er80.html" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Act of Uniformity 1559"><img alt="Act of Uniformity 1559, Elisabeth I., Bildquelle: Parliamentary Archives, HL/PO/PU/1/1558/1Eliz1n2, http://www.parliament.uk/about/living-heritage/transformingsociety/private-lives/religion/collections/common-prayer/act-of-uniformity-1559/" class="image-inline" src="./illustrationen/dissenter-und-nonkonformisten-bilderordner/act-of-uniformity-1559-img/@@images/image/thumb" title="Act Of Uniformity 1559 IMG"></a> of 1559.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_38">20</a><a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/de/threads/crossroads/religionsraeume-und-konfessionsraeume/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenter-und-nonkonformisten-phaenomene-religioeser-abweichung-zwischen-den-britischen-inseln-und-dem-europaeischen-kontinent#InsertNoteID_19"></a> The clergy divided into conformists and Nonconformists, with the latter often seeking their livelihood as private chaplains to Puritan noblemen, or as teachers or lecturers &#8211; in order to escape the discipline of the church.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_40">21</a><a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/de/threads/crossroads/religionsraeume-und-konfessionsraeume/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenter-und-nonkonformisten-phaenomene-religioeser-abweichung-zwischen-den-britischen-inseln-und-dem-europaeischen-kontinent#InsertNoteID_20"></a>
These tensions were also reflected in the cities in the Netherlands where English congregations had emerged. In some of the cities with an English population, there was not one Engelse Kerk, but a number of them. This was the case in Amsterdam<a data-class="internal-link" href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/en/mediainfo/overzicht-westgevel-en-zuidgevel-amsterdam" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Overzicht westgevel en zuidgevel - Amsterdam "><img alt="Overzicht westgevel en zuidgevel - Amsterdam, Farbfotografie, 2010, Fotograf: Paul van Galen,Bildquelle: Rijksdienst voor het Cultureel Erfgoed via Wikimedia Commons, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Overzicht_westgevel_en_zuidgevel_-_Amsterdam_-_20534348_-_RCE.jpg, gemeinfrei." class="image-inline" src="./illustrationen/dissenter-und-nonkonformisten-bilderordner/overzicht-westgevel-en-zuidgevel-amsterdam-img/@@images/image/thumb" title="Overzicht westgevel en zuidgevel - Amsterdam IMG"></a>, <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4050739-7">Rotterdam</a> and Leiden and for a short period in Middelburg also. While the congregations consisted predominantly of traders, craftsmen, soldiers and students, the preachers were predominantly Nonconformist Puritans who had left England as they found the conditions there unbearable. Religious refugees tended to belong to the separatist congregations. The Puritan congregations could thus be either of a Presbyterian type, which earned them both the recognition of the city magistrates and of the Dutch Reformed church, or were avowed separatists, which did not prevent the city authorities from recognizing them, but did prevent the established Reformed church from doing so. Thus, in Middelburg, which was already mentioned above, in addition to the congregation of the Brownist separatists there was also the Presbyterian congregation of the English "merchant adventurers". However, the connections between Puritanism and the Netherlands in the Elizabethan period were not limited to this exchange of people. The Netherlands also became extraordinarily important for Puritan publishing. Puritan writings were published in several cities there. In particular, the publisher <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/46815420" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Richard Schilders (ca. 1538&#8211;1634)">Richard Schilders (ca. 1538&#8211;1634)</a> in Middelburg published numerous Puritan publications that could not have printed in England, but which &#8211; once printed &#8211; found their way there.

At the same time, developments in the Netherlands created the context for the emergence of another large Protestant family of churches. In 1606, <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/105148712" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="John Smyth (1554&#8211;1612)">John Smyth (1554&#8211;1612) </a>gathered a separatist congregation around him in <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/16084428-9">Gainsborough</a>, which gave rise to another free congregation close by. These sought refuge in the Netherlands after 1608 due to repression. In the Netherlands, Smyth became convinced that only believer's baptism was in line with the Bible. Smyth first baptized himself and then his followers. Thus, the first Baptist congregation was formed in 1609 in Amsterdam &#8211; English-speaking, but on Dutch soil.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_48">25</a><a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/de/threads/crossroads/religionsraeume-und-konfessionsraeume/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenter-und-nonkonformisten-phaenomene-religioeser-abweichung-zwischen-den-britischen-inseln-und-dem-europaeischen-kontinent#InsertNoteID_24"></a> Though they had contact with Dutch Mennonites and some of Smyth's followers joined the Mennonites after his death, the congregation had not emerged from <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4467306-1">continental European</a> Anabaptism, but from the separatist Puritanism of England. Part of the congregation returned to England after Smyth's death and founded the first Baptist congregation in England. While this congregation was Arminian in outlook (a variant that was subsequently referred to as General Baptists), Baptist congregations with a Calvinist outlook (which came to be known as Particular Baptists) emerged out of Congregationalism from 1641 onward.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_50">26</a><a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/de/threads/crossroads/religionsraeume-und-konfessionsraeume/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenter-und-nonkonformisten-phaenomene-religioeser-abweichung-zwischen-den-britischen-inseln-und-dem-europaeischen-kontinent#InsertNoteID_25"></a>
The revolution, civil war and English republic between 1640 and 1660 brought about an entirely new situation for Nonconformists and separatists. Previously during the reign of <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/88905668" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="James I of England (1566&#8211;1625)">James I (1566&#8211;1625)</a>, it had become increasingly difficult for Puritanism to act as an internal reform movement within the Anglican church, and there was a further wave of emigration from England to the Netherlands and North American around 1630.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_52">27</a><a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/de/threads/crossroads/religionsraeume-und-konfessionsraeume/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenter-und-nonkonformisten-phaenomene-religioeser-abweichung-zwischen-den-britischen-inseln-und-dem-europaeischen-kontinent#InsertNoteID_26"></a> However, inspired by <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/61897741" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Henry Jacob (1563&#8211;1624)">Henry Jacob (1563&#8211;1624)</a>, congregations following a semi-separatist model had formed from 1616 onward particularly in London and in southern and <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4058445-8">eastern England</a>. The members did not fully separate from their Anglican parish congregations, but they joined a "covenant" committing their religious life to a congregation structured in accordance with biblical standards. While the king and the bishops equated this with the separatism of the Elizabethan period and combated it accordingly, we can assume that this period was characterized in a certain sense by grey areas between the established church and complete separatism. It was ultimately different church models that split the Puritan camp while the army of the parliament was fighting against <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/67750325" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Charles I of England (1600&#8211;1649)">Charles I (1600&#8211;1649)</a> from 1642 to 1645.

The Independents, on the other hand, advocated for the model of voluntary and independent congregations of individuals ("gathered churches") and demanded general freedom of conscience. In the subsequent years, this internal division ultimately prevented a comprehensive reform of the church and other aspects of society, even after the execution of Charles I in 1649.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_54">28</a><a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/de/threads/crossroads/religionsraeume-und-konfessionsraeume/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenter-und-nonkonformisten-phaenomene-religioeser-abweichung-zwischen-den-britischen-inseln-und-dem-europaeischen-kontinent#InsertNoteID_27"></a> However, in the Netherlands the developments from 1640 onward prepared the way for the return of the exiled Puritans. Now it was the royalists who left England to find refuge in the Netherlands.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_56">29</a><a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/de/threads/crossroads/religionsraeume-und-konfessionsraeume/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenter-und-nonkonformisten-phaenomene-religioeser-abweichung-zwischen-den-britischen-inseln-und-dem-europaeischen-kontinent#InsertNoteID_28"></a> The freedom of religious practice that was granted in England during this period had the effect that increasing numbers of people joined Puritan circles. However, the abolition of popular festivities and the restrictions placed on popular customs often met with resistance in the population. The English Civil War and the accompanying privations experienced by the lower classes of society had led to demands for social and political reforms by Nonconformists. However, these conditions were also fertile ground for the emergence of millenarian prophets and the spread of libertine ideas. New members were also drawn to the comparatively moderate Quakers, who formed from 1652 onward under the leadership of <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/106965214" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="George Fox (1624&#8211;1691)">George Fox (1624&#8211;1691)</a> and who propounded the ideal of freedom of conscience, which was ultimately brought by <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/24621346" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="William Penn (1644&#8211;1718)">William Penn (1644&#8211;1718)</a> to the territories acquired by him in North America in the period from 1674 to 1682.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_58">30</a><a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/de/threads/crossroads/religionsraeume-und-konfessionsraeume/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenter-und-nonkonformisten-phaenomene-religioeser-abweichung-zwischen-den-britischen-inseln-und-dem-europaeischen-kontinent#InsertNoteID_29"></a>

It was in this context &#8211; the introduction of the Act of Uniformity of 1662 &#8211; that the term "Dissenter" emerged, as it was used to refer to clergymen and their followers who resisted the Act of Uniformity and left the established Anglican church.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_60">31</a><a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/de/threads/crossroads/religionsraeume-und-konfessionsraeume/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenter-und-nonkonformisten-phaenomene-religioeser-abweichung-zwischen-den-britischen-inseln-und-dem-europaeischen-kontinent#InsertNoteID_30"></a>
While this resulted in the decline of Puritanism as a movement within the church, it also resulted in the production of impressive literary works, including <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/17226855" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="John Milton (1608&#8211;1674)">John Milton's (1608&#8211;1674)</a><a data-class="internal-link" href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/en/mediainfo/john-milton-160820131674" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="John Milton (1608&#8211;1674)">[<img alt="John Milton (1608&#8211;1674) IMG" class="image-inline" src="./illustrationen/zensur-und-pressefreiheit-bilderordner/john-milton-160820131674-img/@@images/image/thumb" title="John Milton (1608&#8211;1674) IMG">]</a> <a data-class="external-link" href="http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/26" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Projekt Gutenberg: Paradise Lost">Paradise Lost (1667)</a> and <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/71388170" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="John Bunyan (1628&#8211;1688)">John Bunyan's (1628&#8211;1688)</a> Pilgrim's Progress (1678)<a data-class="external-link" href="http://gateway.proquest.com/openurl?ctx_ver=Z39.88-2003&amp;res_id=xri:eebo&amp;rft_id=xri:eebo:image:44054" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title=" Early English Books Online (EEBO): The Pilgrim's Progress"><img alt="Westminster chapel, Farbfotografie von 2009, Bildquelle: Wikimedia Commons, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Westminsterck.jpg, CC BY-SA 3.0 DE." class="image-inline" src="./illustrationen/dissenter-und-nonkonformisten-bilderordner/westminster-chapel-img/@@images/image/thumb" title="Westminster Chapel IMG"></a>. Like the early Puritan writings, these works resonated throughout Europe. However, the Netherlands and Germany appear to have been most receptive to Puritan writings in this period.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_62">32</a> A large number of Puritan works appeared in Dutch translation, beginning before 1600 and experiencing an initial period of popularity that continued up to about 1620. After that, the production of devotional literature by Dutch authors dealing with practical piety increased in the Netherlands, before English devotional literature enjoyed another period of strong circulation between 1640 and 1660 driven by an increased supply due to the favourable political conditions in England. What books the Dutch book merchants and publishers offered for sale was probably determined both by economic motives and by their individual opinions on the content.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_64">33</a> This translation activity existed in the context of efforts towards greater piety in the Netherlands (Nadere Reformatie), which can be observed throughout the entire 17th century and which exhibit some similarities with English Puritanism and German Pietism &#8211; both within the Dutch Reformed church and in groupings which can be described as "Dissenters" in the Dutch context (Anabaptists, Collegiants, individualist and communal mystics; in the Dutch context, Lutherans and Remonstrants also belonged to the Dissenters). In the academic literature, varying degrees of emphasis is placed on the role that Puritan influences played in addition to Calvinism in these efforts towards greater piety.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_66">34</a> These influences were spread through literature, on the one hand, but also through personal contact, which resulted both from the presence of Puritan foreign congregations in the Dutch cities, as described above, and from travel. <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/74201512" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Willem Teellinck (1579&#8211;1629)">Willem Teellinck (1579&#8211;1629)</a>, who was active in the early phase of the Nadere Reformatie, was so impressed by the life and piety of a Puritan circle that he encountered during his stay in England that it became a model for his own church activity in the Netherlands.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_68">35</a><a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/de/threads/crossroads/religionsraeume-und-konfessionsraeume/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenter-und-nonkonformisten-phaenomene-religioeser-abweichung-zwischen-den-britischen-inseln-und-dem-europaeischen-kontinent#InsertNoteID_34"></a> While <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/64811420" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Godefridus Udemans (ca. 1581&#8211;1649)">Godefridus Udemans (ca. 1581&#8211;1649)</a>, who also played an important role in the Nadere Reformatie, was not personally connected with English Puritans, his library contained a selection of English and Scottish Puritan works. The phenomenon of the translation of English devotional literature can also be observed in German-speaking territories. A bibliographical survey of the beginnings of German Pietism conducted in the mid-1980s recorded a total of 1661 German translations of English tracts for this period.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_70">36</a><a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/de/threads/crossroads/religionsraeume-und-konfessionsraeume/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenter-und-nonkonformisten-phaenomene-religioeser-abweichung-zwischen-den-britischen-inseln-und-dem-europaeischen-kontinent#InsertNoteID_35"></a>
The spiritual currents in England in the 16th and 17th centuries described above, from which &#8211; as already discussed &#8211; connections can be traced to the emerging German Pietism, gave rise to the so-called "Old Dissent"<a data-class="internal-link" href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/en/mediainfo/evolution-of-old-dissent" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Evolution of Old Dissent "><img alt="Evolution of Old Dissent (Stemma des Old Dissent).

In the 18th century, another wave emerged in the form of the so-called "New Dissent", which in its turn received ideas from German Pietism and was connected with the Evangelical Revival. The Toleration Act of 1689 that resulted from the Glorious Revolution guaranteed Dissenters freedom of religious practice, though they continued to be excluded from holding public office and from attending university. It is estimated that Dissenters represented about 6 per cent of the entire population at the start of the 18th century.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_72">37</a><a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/de/threads/crossroads/religionsraeume-und-konfessionsraeume/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenter-und-nonkonformisten-phaenomene-religioeser-abweichung-zwischen-den-britischen-inseln-und-dem-europaeischen-kontinent#InsertNoteID_36"></a> Together with Puritanism, the religious societies that began to emerge during this period (Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge in 1695, Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts in 1701) provided fertile soil for the emergence of the revivalist movement, which manifested itself primarily in the emergence and spread of the Methodist movement, which was heavily influenced by Pietist ideas from continental Europe. The Methodist movement began in the mid-18th century as a reform movement within the established church in England, but it ultimately resulted towards the end of the century in the formation of a new church, even though the main stream of the Wesleyan Methodists (in contrast with the Methodist New Connexion, Primitive Methodists and the Wesleyan Methodist Association) hesitated for a long time before joining the Dissenters (and actually adhered to the Book of Common Prayer).<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_74">38</a><a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/de/threads/crossroads/religionsraeume-und-konfessionsraeume/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenter-und-nonkonformisten-phaenomene-religioeser-abweichung-zwischen-den-britischen-inseln-und-dem-europaeischen-kontinent#InsertNoteID_37"></a> It is these groups that are referred to as the "New Dissent". Theologically, the early-18th century was characterized by an increasing tendency towards Unitarianism in the Presbyterian groups among the Dissenters in the context of theological debates about the Trinity.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_76">39</a><a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/de/threads/crossroads/religionsraeume-und-konfessionsraeume/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenter-und-nonkonformisten-phaenomene-religioeser-abweichung-zwischen-den-britischen-inseln-und-dem-europaeischen-kontinent#InsertNoteID_38"></a> The "Evangelical Revival" itself, however, also reinvigorated the groups of the "Old Dissent".<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_78">40</a><a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/de/threads/crossroads/religionsraeume-und-konfessionsraeume/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenter-und-nonkonformisten-phaenomene-religioeser-abweichung-zwischen-den-britischen-inseln-und-dem-europaeischen-kontinent#InsertNoteID_39"></a> Under <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/39427796" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Philip Doddridge (1702&#8211;1751)">Philip Doddridge (1702&#8211;1751)</a>, a mediating theology emerged, which enabled Independents and Particular Baptists to transition from Calvinism to a more Arminian theology.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_80">41</a><a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/de/threads/crossroads/religionsraeume-und-konfessionsraeume/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenter-und-nonkonformisten-phaenomene-religioeser-abweichung-zwischen-den-britischen-inseln-und-dem-europaeischen-kontinent#InsertNoteID_40"></a> In this way, a favourable climate also emerged for the formation of groups across confessional boundaries, which ultimately became the "most significant embodiment of evangelical Christianity in England and an influential factor for change".<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_82">42</a><a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/de/threads/crossroads/religionsraeume-und-konfessionsraeume/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenter-und-nonkonformisten-phaenomene-religioeser-abweichung-zwischen-den-britischen-inseln-und-dem-europaeischen-kontinent#InsertNoteID_41"></a>
The massive urbanisation that accompanied industrialization created challenges for the Christian churches. Nonconformism &#8211; the term was now increasingly used to refer to this spectrum of Protestantism &#8211; proved to be much better placed to meet these challenges as, compared with the established church, it was much more flexible in terms of its institutional structure and it was much closer to voluntarism and free entrepreneurship. Consequently, it were primarily the Dissenters that increased their membership in the first half of the 19th century.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_84">43</a><a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/de/threads/crossroads/religionsraeume-und-konfessionsraeume/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenter-und-nonkonformisten-phaenomene-religioeser-abweichung-zwischen-den-britischen-inseln-und-dem-europaeischen-kontinent#InsertNoteID_42"></a> The Anglican Church only managed to respond effectively to the new societal conditions from the 1830s onward.
By the mid-19th century, about 20 per cent of the population of Great Britain belonged to Free Churches,<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_86">44</a><a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/de/threads/crossroads/religionsraeume-und-konfessionsraeume/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenter-und-nonkonformisten-phaenomene-religioeser-abweichung-zwischen-den-britischen-inseln-und-dem-europaeischen-kontinent#InsertNoteID_43"></a> which means that those attending Nonconformist services constituted roughly half of all people who regularly attended church services at that time<a data-class="internal-link" href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/en/mediainfo/westminster-chapel" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Westminster Chapel "><img alt="Westminster chapel, Farbfotografie von 2009, Bildquelle: Wikimedia Commons, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Westminsterck.jpg, CC BY-SA 3.0 DE." class="image-inline" src="./illustrationen/dissenter-und-nonkonformisten-bilderordner/westminster-chapel-img/@@images/image/thumb" title="Westminster Chapel IMG"></a>.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_88">45</a><a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/de/threads/crossroads/religionsraeume-und-konfessionsraeume/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenter-und-nonkonformisten-phaenomene-religioeser-abweichung-zwischen-den-britischen-inseln-und-dem-europaeischen-kontinent#InsertNoteID_44"></a> The term "Nonconformists" was used at the time to refer to precisely this (people who attended religious services outside of the established church) and it gradually replaced the term "Dissenters".
The rivalry between the denominations was one of the main features of religious life in the Victorian period. This rivalry was increased by the removal of discrimination against Catholics and Nonconformists, the rise of the middle class (which tended towards Nonconformism), a wave of conversions at Oxford and Irish immigration. Nonconformism consolidated its position further and through its link with the Liberal party deepened the divide with the established church.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_90">46</a><a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/de/threads/crossroads/religionsraeume-und-konfessionsraeume/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenter-und-nonkonformisten-phaenomene-religioeser-abweichung-zwischen-den-britischen-inseln-und-dem-europaeischen-kontinent#InsertNoteID_45"></a> Having obtained broad societal acceptance and developed its own distinctive culture, it became a central milieu in the late-19th century in England<a data-class="internal-link" href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/en/mediainfo/interior-of-westminster-congregational-chapel" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Interior of Westminster Congregational Chapel"><img alt="Unbekannter Photograph: Innenraum der Westminster Congregational Chapel, London.

<h2>"Dissenters" in other parts of the Continent? On the Entanglement of Deviating Groups with the English-Dutch Developments</h2>
If one thinks of examples of religious "Dissent" on the European continent in the early modern period, in addition to the phenomena already described it is mainly Antitrinitarianism that comes to mind. It took shape in the context of an Italian-Eastern European transfer process, and in <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4054835-1">Transylvania </a>and Poland it even went beyond mere dissidence.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_96">49</a> Antitrinitarianism links into the contexts being discussed here by virtue of the fact that the works of <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/41890089" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Fausto Sozzini (1539&#8211;1604)">Fausto Sozzini (1539&#8211;1604)</a> were published in 1656 in Amsterdam, a city sometimes referred to as "Irenopolis".<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_98">50</a> This once again demonstrates that into the 18th century the Netherlands was the European centre for the publication of "heterodox" religious literature &#8211; even in other languages &#8211; due to the religious tolerance that existed there.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_100">51</a> It was also this kind of literature that influenced other countries &#8211; for example, the devotional writings of the Nonconformists Baxter and Bunyan had considerable influence in Germany.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_102">52</a> It was also in Amsterdam that the first complete collection of the writings of <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/54144350" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Jakob B&#246;hme (1575&#8211;1624)">Jakob B&#246;hme (1575&#8211;1624)</a> was published in 1682.

<h2>British Dissenters and the Formation of Free Churches in Continental Europe: Connections</h2>
Congregationalist, Baptist and Methodist congregations emerged on the European continent during the course of the 19th century. In this process, Nonconformists in Great Britain in many cases only planted the initial idea, while the formation of lasting communities was brought about by efforts from the <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4078704-7">USA</a>. To an extent, the ground was prepared for the emergence of these congregations by Pietism and the Moravian Brethren of <a data-class="internal-link" href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/de/threads/europaeische-netzwerke/christliche-netzwerke/astrid-von-schlachta-taeufergemeinschaften-die-hutterer" title="T&#228;ufergemeinschaften: Die Hutterer">Herrnhut</a>, as well as the continental European revivalist movements of the early-19th century, while the Mennonite congregations tended not to interact with broader society enough to be considered a direct influence in this case. The associations and societies that established these connections were internationally oriented, and gave rise to varied contacts, particularly with the English-speaking world.
The efforts of the wealthy brothers <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/44396585" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Robert Haldane (1764&#8211;1842)">Robert (1764&#8211;1842)</a> and <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/6410814" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="James Haldane (1768&#8211;1851)">James Haldane (1768&#8211;1851)</a> from <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/1028061-3">Edinburgh </a>had a great effect on the continent. They came from the Scottish Presbyterian church &#8211; in Scotland this was the established church and the Anglicans were the "Dissenters" &#8211; but they left it in the late-1790s after their conversion, and they founded a Congregationalist congregation.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_114">58</a><a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/de/threads/crossroads/religionsraeume-und-konfessionsraeume/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenter-und-nonkonformisten-phaenomene-religioeser-abweichung-zwischen-den-britischen-inseln-und-dem-europaeischen-kontinent#InsertNoteID_57"></a> The brothers were involved in the foundation of various societies which frequently provided the impetus for the foundation of Free Churches on the continent. The non-confessional Continental Society for the Diffusion of Religious Knowledge over the Continent of Europe proved to be particularly significant in this regard.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_116">59</a><a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/de/threads/crossroads/religionsraeume-und-konfessionsraeume/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenter-und-nonkonformisten-phaenomene-religioeser-abweichung-zwischen-den-britischen-inseln-und-dem-europaeischen-kontinent#InsertNoteID_58"></a>
Having planned for some time to travel to the continent for the purpose of evangelism, Robert Haldane travelled to Geneva in the autumn of 1816, and in the context of the R&#233;veil, which was commencing there, he gained access to a student circle that had formed there over the preceding years, which was critical of rationalist theology. He held gatherings at which he interpreted St. Paul's Letter to the Romans. These left a lasting impression on those present. After his departure in 1817 and a Reglement of the Compagnie des Pasteurs of the same year stating that certain theological topics such as original sin and the two natures of Christ were no longer to be mentioned from the pulpit, it was <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/99297727" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Henry Drummond (1786&#8211;1869)">Henry Drummond (1786&#8211;1869)</a>, a member of the Scottish Free Church who was passing through Geneva, who convinced the revivalist theologians &#8211; the controversy had by then spread beyond the student body &#8211; to take the step of separation. The Nouvelle &#201;glise was formed, out of which developed the independent congregation at Place de Bourg-de-Four. "Zweifellos formte das Herrnhutertum Fr&#246;mmigkeit und antirationalistische Haltung der oppositionellen jungen Theologen, doch erst die Begegnung mit dem britischen Evangelikalismus" &#8211; and more specifically with British Dissenters &#8211; "erm&#246;glichte die organisatorische Verselbst&#228;ndigung des R&#233;veil."<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_118">60</a><a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/de/threads/crossroads/religionsraeume-und-konfessionsraeume/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenter-und-nonkonformisten-phaenomene-religioeser-abweichung-zwischen-den-britischen-inseln-und-dem-europaeischen-kontinent#InsertNoteID_59"></a> Further independent congregations formed, and the movement spread through Switzerland, including its German-speaking parts.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_120">61</a><a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/de/threads/crossroads/religionsraeume-und-konfessionsraeume/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenter-und-nonkonformisten-phaenomene-religioeser-abweichung-zwischen-den-britischen-inseln-und-dem-europaeischen-kontinent#InsertNoteID_60"></a> From <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4053881-3">Switzerland</a>, these revivalist approaches, which were linked with Congregationalist ideas, spread to <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4018145-5">France</a>, and independent congregations formed there also. Inspired by the Francophone model of the Eglise libre, the first Freie evangelische Gemeinde in Germany emerged in 1854 in <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4070734-9">Elberfeld</a>.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_122">62</a><a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/de/threads/crossroads/religionsraeume-und-konfessionsraeume/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenter-und-nonkonformisten-phaenomene-religioeser-abweichung-zwischen-den-britischen-inseln-und-dem-europaeischen-kontinent#InsertNoteID_61"></a> Interestingly, in the debate that was conducted in print regarding the developments in Geneva, the state church made an accusation of "Methodism" against the other side, even though Methodism in the narrower sense was not involved in the developments in Geneva at all.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_124">63</a><a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/de/threads/crossroads/religionsraeume-und-konfessionsraeume/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenter-und-nonkonformisten-phaenomene-religioeser-abweichung-zwischen-den-britischen-inseln-und-dem-europaeischen-kontinent#InsertNoteID_62"></a> This demonstrates that the term could be used as a kind of code for Anglo-American revivalist Protestantism in general.
The Continental Society referred to above hired a number of students, including <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/31602810" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Henri Pyt (1796&#8211;1835)">Henri Pyt (1796&#8211;1835)</a> who worked as an evangelist in the French-speaking countries. He was convinced of the correctness of believer's baptism, but he did not act too forcefully for fear of igniting a conflict with the Reformed church. He thus waited until a revivalist circle in France requested baptism from him around 1820, and out of this circle developed what was probably the first Baptist congregation on the continent after the on of Smyth. In addition to this congregation in <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/7637373-3">Nomain</a>, a second formed in <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4683180-0">Aix</a>.

The influence of the Haldane brothers can also be found in <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4055209-3">Scandinavia</a>.

The earliest missionary activities of British Methodists on the European mainland did not come about through the planned activities of a missionary society, but through individual initiatives. A businessman from the Channel Islands, where Methodists had lived from 1775 onward, became aware of the shortage of Reformed pastors in <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4042617-8">Normandy </a>while travelling on business around 1790, and he subsequently made efforts to bring "missionaries" to France to strengthen Protestantism there. Prior to 1815, there was no planned development of a mission, but individual people were nonetheless engaged for the purpose of acting as Methodists &#8211; in the original English sense &#8211; within the official Protestant church. Some of them subsequently became pastors in the Reformed church.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_154">74</a><a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/de/threads/crossroads/religionsraeume-und-konfessionsraeume/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenter-und-nonkonformisten-phaenomene-religioeser-abweichung-zwischen-den-britischen-inseln-und-dem-europaeischen-kontinent#InsertNoteID_73"></a>
The revivalist mood that was also apparent in France in the aftermath of the Geneva R&#233;veil led to a renewed engagement by the Methodist mission there after 1818. Together with other missionaries and in cooperation with the Methodist missionary society back in England, <a data-class="external-link" href="http://www.hls-dhs-dss.ch/textes/d/D31414.php" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Historisches Lexikon der Schweiz: Charles Cook">Charles Cook (1787&#8211;1858)</a> began to systematically develop a Methodist mission in France, which led to the formation of Methodist societies within the Reformed church. The identity question which began to pose itself over time &#8211; as it subsequently did in a similar way in Germany &#8211; was whether the Methodists were a religious grouping inside the state church or an independent church.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_156">75</a> The dependence on the English missionary society continued up to 1852. It was only then that an independent conference, and with it an independent church was founded, which, however, remained dependent on financial assistance from England and was subsequently also supported by Methodist churches in America.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_158">76</a> There were also Methodist missionary efforts by the English missionary society in <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4020965-9">Gibraltar</a>, <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4055964-6">Spain </a>and Italy.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_160">77</a> In Germany, there were Wesleyan circles initially in Hamburg, and from 1830 onward others emerged that were particularly connected with <a itemprop="url" class="external-geo-link" data-class="external-geo-link" href="http://d-nb.info/gnd/4066313-9">Winnenden </a>in W&#252;rttemberg.

In contrast with the Baptist movement, where British and American influences combined and collaborated, in Methodism the English and the American influences appear more like two distinct phases, which often involved a degree of rivalry. The situation of these "Dissenters" varied between the various countries and territories of the continent. In general, the decision to withdraw from the established church usually brought civil or legal disadvantages, repression, and even public enmity.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_164">79</a><a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/de/threads/crossroads/religionsraeume-und-konfessionsraeume/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenter-und-nonkonformisten-phaenomene-religioeser-abweichung-zwischen-den-britischen-inseln-und-dem-europaeischen-kontinent#InsertNoteID_78"></a>
<h2>Effects</h2>
Even though the Dissenters were always a minority in English society, the influence that they had on the countries of the British Isles and worldwide should not be underestimated. As regards the struggle for individual liberties as well as concepts of community that are based on mutual obligation and democratic decision-making processes, their approaches together with Enlightenment state-philosophical concepts had a profound effect in the political realm. Writing in the early-20th century, <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/100180950" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Max Weber (1864&#8211;1920)">Max Weber (1864&#8211;1920)</a><a data-class="internal-link" href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/en/mediainfo/max-weber-1864-1920" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Max Weber (1864&#8211;1920)">[<img alt="Max Weber (1864&#8211;1920) IMG" class="image-inline" src="./illustrationen/statesystems-bilderordner/max-weber-186420131920-img/@@images/image/thumb" title="Max Weber (1864&#8211;1920) IMG">]</a> and <a data-class="external-link" href="http://viaf.org/viaf/71404752" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title="Ernst Troeltsch (1865&#8211;1923)">Ernst Troeltsch (1865&#8211;1923)</a> attributed a central role to the "Sektentypus" (sect type) &#8211; in which they included the phenomena of Dissenters and Free Churches &#8211; in the emergence of modernity.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_166">80</a> In England itself, a pluralistic society was cultivated much earlier than in many other European countries due to the tradition of Dissenters refusing to let themselves be controlled by the state church. As the Dissenters were very much politically active, the features that led to irreligiosity on the continent in the context of <a data-class="internal-link" href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/en/threads/backgrounds/industrialization/richard-h-tilly-industrialization-as-an-historical-process" title="Industrialization as an Historical Process">industrialization</a> and rapid <a data-class="internal-link" href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/en/threads/backgrounds/nature-and-environment/corinna-unger-heinrich-hartmann-population" title="Population">population growth</a> did not appear to the same extent in England. In this way, the Dissenters made an important contribution to the internal stability of English society. Dissenters were also often to the fore in the beginnings and the development of the missions worldwide.<a href="https://www.ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/religious-and-confessional-spaces/thomas-hahn-bruckart-dissenters-and-nonconformists-phenomena-of-religious-deviance-between-the-british-isles-and-the-european-continent#InsertNoteID_168">81</a>
