Editing Socinianism (section)

==Conscientious objection==
Although not directly a doctrinal belief, the principle of [[conscientious objection]] and the obedient relation of the believer to the state became a distinct position of Socinianism as it was formalized in the Racovian publications. Before F. Sozzini's arrival in Poland, there had been a wide range of positions from the total otherworldliness, common property, and withdrawal from the state of [[Marcin Czechowic]] of [[Lublin]] through to the advocacy of military service by [[Symon Budny]]. The next generation of Polish Brethren stabilized between these two positions, carrying wooden swords to follow the letter of the law and allowing senior Socinians such as [[Hieronim Moskorzowski]] to vote in the [[Sejm]].<ref>Brook P.
