Members of these churches belong to the&nbsp;<strong>Walloon Reformed Church</strong>&nbsp;(French:<em>R&eacute;form&eacute; wallon</em>; Dutch:&nbsp;<em>Waals Hervormd</em>&nbsp;or, from 1815,&nbsp;<em>Waals Gereformeerd</em>), a demonination of the long-distinguished&nbsp;Dutch-speaking&nbsp;Dutch Reformed Church.</p></line><line><p style="margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 19px; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The French Calvinists, known also as&nbsp;Huguenots, were persecuted in France by the Roman Catholic Church. In 1598, King&nbsp;Henry IV of France&nbsp;issued the&nbsp;Edict of Nantes, which was to relieve the persecution and allow rights to freely worship. Later in 1685, His grandson&nbsp;Louis XIV&nbsp;issued a&nbsp;Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, and persecution returned. Most fled France to other countries offering safe harbor. Many of these would later settle in&nbsp;Ulster,&nbsp;New Zealand,&nbsp;Australia, and the in&nbsp;New World&nbsp;in the colonies of the&nbsp;Carolinas,&nbsp;New York&nbsp;and&nbsp;Pennsylvania. Many of the technical skilled workers of the&nbsp;silk&nbsp;weaving industry left France with little or nothing, re-establishing their trades elsewhere. Many of these who left were also of&nbsp;French nobility, and it is said that little of the industry of France remained after this period.</p></line><line><p style="margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 19px; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">From Wikipedia (September 2013):&nbsp;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walloon_church &nbsp; &nbsp;</p></line></content></metadataxml>
