Remonstrant Synod, formed in 1830 by
Presbyterian ministers, elders, and congregations who seceded from the
Synod of Ulster when their Remonstrance against legislation affecting future students for the ministry was rejected. A Theological Examination Committee had been set up to test the orthodoxy of future ordinands and it was clear that only
evangelical and orthodox trinitarian candidates would be accepted. This marked the defeat of the liberal, New Light (see
old light and new light), non‐subscribing party (see
subscription controversies) in the synod, some of whom were
Arians, and led eventually to union with other non‐subscribing Presbyterians and Unitarians to form the Non‐subscribing Presbyterian church in Ireland.
