Abstract
Abstract At the end of the Interbellum and in the first years of the German occupation a specific Reformed-Calvinist political action group existed, the Christelijke Nationale Actie (Christian National Action, cna). The founders deliberately did not want to found a political party or movement, but an action group. At first, they intended an interconnection of all four existing protestant parties, but none of them wanted to collaborate. Co-operation bounced off on the interpretation of Article 36 of the Nederlandse Geloofsbelijdenis (Belgic Confession, ngb), concerning the office of civil government and the relation between church and state. The cna decided to join the elections of 1937 as a political party, but did not get enough votes to win a chair in the Parliament. In 1941 de cna was liquidated by the German occupiers.
