1857 Secession

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1857 Secession of Christian Reformed Church from Reformed Church in America occurred in January of that year. It was led by the Classis Holland, most notably Gijsbert Haan and to a lesser extent Albertus van Raalte and mirroring the Afscheiding developments in the sister church back in the Netherlands. Issues included the perceived liberalization of the church in areas such as the use of hymns instead of only Psalms. Van Raalte, however, remained in the RCA, leading to the equivalent Netherlands church, the Christelijke Gereformeerde Kerken in Nederland, not favoring the new American denomination.
