Johannes Zuidlareus

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johannes Zuidlareus (also Suidlareus ; * around 1545 in Zuidlaren (province of Drenthe ); † February 1, 1604 in Emden ) was a theologian and preacher during the Reformation .

Live and act

Johannes Zuidlareus was born in Zuidlaren in the Netherlands in 1545 and named after his place of birth. After the establishment of the Reformed Church in Emden by Johannes a Lasco (1543-49 Superintendent) and the consolidation by Albert Hardenberg (1567-74), the congregation experienced a setback due to a plague epidemic, which Hardenberg in 1574 and the other two preachers fell victim to . Menso Alting (1575-1612), Johannes Zuidlarius and Odierus Althes were appointed as successors . According to the protocol of the church council, Rudolphus Landius was also one of the preachers in 1576, to whom 14 elders were assigned. At the time of his appointment, Zuidlareus was a preacher in Pilsum and had already turned down a call to Emden in 1574. At the urging of the Emden community, which elected him on September 12, 1575, he accepted the election. His activity as a preacher in Emden spanned almost three decades, but was overshadowed by Alting. Until his death in 1604, Zuidlareus worked fruitfully with Alting. He was a member of the Coetus of the Reformed preachers of East Frisia , in whose meeting room in the New Church in the 18th century Zuidlareus was depicted among the 23 paintings from Lasco, Hardenberg and Alting.

Various notes in the minutes of the church council at that time give an insight into the pastoral activities of Zuidlareus. When a certain Carel van Gent sympathized with the Mennonites , but wanted to return to the Reformed Church in 1581, penal proceedings were initiated, the legality of which Zuidlareus monitored. Elsewhere, Zuidlarius attests that he acted as a mediator in his role as a preacher in Emden when the preacher Rudolphus Artopaeus moved to Delfzijl in 1596 and a long dispute arose over the outstanding payment.

A Henricus Zuidlareus, possibly his son, accepted a call from the Adorp and Harsens parish in 1611 .
