| | History: Many members of the Christian Reformed Church in the Netherlands (a group founded after members seceded from the Reformed Church of the Netherlands) immigrated to the United States in 1847 after enduring severe famine and religious persecution in their native country (Melton, 302). | | | Most churches were content with their union to the RCA, though a single Classis Holland church did leave the denomination in 1857 under the direction of Gysbert Haan. | | | According to the United Reformed News Service, there is still division on issues such as the role of women in the church and Christian education. |

| | Vanden Bosch declared to Classis that the RCA was not a "true church of Jesus Christ" because of the "abominable and church-destroying heresy and sins which are rampant" in it. | | | The declaration of secession by the consistory of this church simply stated that "we have betaken ourselves to the standpoint we had when we left the Netherlands, in order thus again to be in connection with the church of the Netherlands." Polkton clearly considered their action a return to the 1834 church. | | | The Christian Reformed Church in North America (CRCNA) had its official beginning in the United States in 1857, but all the founding members were Dutch-born and their beliefs were rooted in the Reformed community of the fatherland, especially the religious revival of the 1820s and 1830s, known as the Afscheiding. |

| | A postmodern church such as The River uses a combination of ancient prayer and liturgies with modern technologies to touch the hearts and minds of a generation raised on fast-paced imagery and yet longing for balance and peace, organizers of the new congregation say. | | | "Basically this is the story of the Reformed Church through the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries," said Donald Bruggink, co-author of a new book touching highlights in the history of the denomination. | | | It has stripped church down to the core: It is all about relationships, the one-on-one interactions that take place in house churches, at parties, around campfires, over the phone or in other everyday circumstances. |
