Abstract

أثناء الثورة البيوريتانية، كان صوت أنصار التسامح قوياً للغاية، مع ذلك، في عام 1660 كانوا لا يزالون أقلية صغيرة لم تحقق أفكارها تقدما كبيرا بين التيار الأنجليكي أو المشيخي. عندما عاد الملك، ربما كانت ’جماهير الرجال‘ أكثر ميلا لدعم إعادة فرض التوحيد من الحفاظ على التسامح وتوسيعه. صحيح أن فترة عودة الملكية إلى إنكلترا لم تشهد عودة إلى حرق الهراطقة، لكنها شهدت اضطهادا على نطاق واسع. حيث كان المؤيدون الرئيسون للتوحيد الديني الملكيين الإنجليكانيين بدلاً من المشيخيين، وبشكل مفارق وجد المشيخيون أنفسهم خارج الكنيسة الرسمية، كأكبر مجموعة من المنشقين المضطهدين، مما أدى إلى انزعاجهم الشديد، ووجدوا كلماتهم الخاصة في أربعينيات القرن السابع عشر مقتبسة ضدهم، إذ أعاد الأنجليكانيون بسرور نشر الهجمات المشيخية على التسامح، ووظّفوها لتبرير قمع المنشقين الذين أصبح المشيخيون جزءاً منهم. يمكن القول كانت هذه هي المرحلة الأخيرة في التاريخ الإنكليزي عندما سعت السلطات الكنسية والمدنية بشكل منهجي لتأمين التوحيد الديني بوسائل قسرية. إذ لا يزال يبدو أن الكراهية الدينية تمثل قوة مؤثرة في أوروبا، ولم تكن إنكلترا بحكم السياق التاريخي إستثناءاً في فترة عودة الملكية عن نزعة التوحيد الديني الصارم التي خيّمت على أوروبا منذ فترة الإصلاح الديني
