The Synode Wallon was the governing council of French-speaking Protestant churches in the Netherlands. Formed largely by Huguenot refugees, fled after events like the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. Protestants were persecuted in France, so many fled to safer places like the Netherlands, England & Switzerland.
The book includes the hymns and materials which were officially approved for worship by this synod, an authorized by the church composite religious volume.
