EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Meeting of Collegiants in Amsterdam, Netherlands" takes us back to the 18th century, offering a glimpse into a historical moment filled with faith and religious devotion. The print showcases a congregation of men and women gathered together for worship in Amsterdam. The scene depicts an important ceremony within the Protestant community, where worshippers known as Collegiants come together to celebrate their shared beliefs. These Collegiants were followers of Anabaptism, a Christian movement that emphasized adult baptism and individual interpretation of scripture. Amidst the ornate surroundings of this Dutch church, we witness the solemnity and reverence displayed by these worshippers. Their presence signifies not only their commitment to their faith but also their defiance against prevailing religious customs. The image is rich with symbolism as it captures an era marked by religious diversity and tolerance in the Netherlands. It serves as a reminder that Amsterdam was once at the forefront of progressive thought during this period. Through this remarkable engraving, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how religion played a significant role in shaping society and fostering unity among diverse groups. It stands as a testament to both our collective history and our enduring quest for spiritual fulfillment.
