Sandoniir (also Sendomik) A(ii{p:EMENT (Con- sensus Sendomiriensis), an accommodation reached by the Protestant churches of Poland in 1570, at a synod held at Sandomir, now the capital of the government of Kadom, by which existing difl'ereiices were composed and a fraternal union was established.
The Protestantism of Poland was of three types : 1, the Lutheran, introduced from (iermany, and taking root chiefly in what is now Prussian Poland; 2, the Swiss, or Reformed, dating its introduction nearly to the same period as the Lutheran, and prevailing chiefly in Cracow and the surrounding country; and, 3, the Bohemian, brought in b}' refugees from the persecutions which raged in their native land. The language and customs of these refugees resembled those of the conn- try in which they sought a home, and their Church possessed further advantages in its compact organiza- tion, thorough government, and rich hymnology, by which it was enabled to make rapid advances. These successes gave rise to the first disagreements with which the Polish Reformation was troubled, and furnished ev- idence of a wide division between the Lutherans and the Bohemian churches, the former charging the Bohe- mian Brethren with erroneous teaching, particularly in respect to the doctrines of justification and the Lord's supper, and with intentional neglect of scientific cult- ure; and the latter retorting with reflections upon the absence of Church discipline and of moral restraints among their opponents. The progress of the Reforma- tion in Strasburg in the meantime furnished the Breth- ren with an opportunity to enter into relations with other Protestant churches; and a delegation from Bo- hemia, appointed in 1540 for that purpose, having been favorably received by Bucer, Hedio, Capito, Calvin, and other Reformers, served to establish an intimacy of friendship between the respective leaders which was carefully cherished by the Bohemian Church.
