WHAT DOES WALDENSIAN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Waldensian

Waldensians

Waldensians, Waldenses, Vallenses or Vaudois are names for a Christian movement which started in Lyon and spread soon to the Cottian Alps in the late 1170s. The movement, named after founder Peter Waldo, advocated an interpretation of the Gospel that led to conflicts with the Roman Catholic Church. By 1215, the Waldensians were declared heretical and subject to persecution. During the Protestant Reformation, Waldensian leaders joined the Reformed church. Thus the movement adopted many of the Calvinist tenets and became a Protestant denomination. Currently, active congregations remain in Europe, South America, and North America, most under the label of the Waldensian Evangelical Church. Organizations, such as the American Waldensian Society, exist to maintain the history of this movement, with the declared goals of "proclaiming the Christian Gospel, serving the marginalized, promoting social justice, fostering inter-religious work, and advocating respect for religious diversity and freedom of conscience."...
