In 1944, the most difficult year of the war for the Netherlands, a conflict in the Reformed Churches in the Netherlands resulted in a split, the Vrijmaking. Often people have wondered - to say the least - why the Reformed were busy with their internal struggles in a time when national suffering and conflict required all hands to be on deck? A common explanation refers to innere Emigration: focusing on ecclesial issues was a kind of escape from national distress. In church they were like under a glass bell. The participants were aware of the incongruency of the situation, but proceeded with the Vrijmaking nonetheless. Van Langevelde proposes to replace the image of the glass bell by a bee hive, a more porous distinction between church and nation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
