Encyclopedia Britannica



DISSENTER (Lat. dis-sentire, to disagree)

This article appears in Volume V08, Page 318 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DIO-DRO
DISSENTER (Lat. dis-sentire, to disagree) , one who dissents or disagrees in matters of
opinion
 , belief, &c. The term " dissenter is, however, practically restricted to the
special
  sense of a member of a religious
body
  in England which has, for one reason or another, separated from the Established Church. Strictly, the term includes the English Roman Catholics, who in the
original
  draft of the Relief Act of 1791 were styled " Protesting Catholic Dissenters." It is in practice, however, restricted to the "
Protestant
  Dissenters " referred to in sec. ii. of the Toleration Act of 1688. The term is not applied to those bodies who dissent from the Established Church of
Scotland
  ; and in speaking of members of religious bodies which have seceded from established churches abroad it is usual to employ the term " dissidents " (Lat. dissidere, to dissent). In this
connotation
  the terms " dissenter " and " dissenting," which had acquired a somewhat contemptuous flavour, have tended since the middle of the 19th century to be replaced by " nonconformist," a term which did not originally imply secession, but only refusal to conform in certain particulars (e.g. the wearing of the surplice) with the authorized usages of the Established Church. Still more recently the term " nonconformist " has in its turn, as the political attack on the principle of a state
establishment
  of religion developed, tended to give place to the style of " Free Churches " and " Free Churchman." All three terms are now in use, "nonconformist" being the most usual, as it is the most colourless. (See CONGREGATIONALISM, &C.)
