The Synod of Dort (also known as the Dordrecht Synod) was a significant ecclesiastical assembly held in the Dutch city of Dordrecht (Dort) from 1618 to 1619. It was convened by the Dutch Reformed Church to address a theological controversy known as Arminianism and to establish doctrinal clarity on issues related to salvation, predestination, and grace. The Synod's decisions had a profound impact on Reformed theology and the broader Protestant tradition.
