The church walls there have been lowered a lot over the past 20 years.-DIA- schreef:Maybe in British Columbia, Chilliwack, Rosedale?

At your service!Canada schreef:That's good to hear.
It's not a maybe but a fact. A lot of the older generation that was involved in the church splits have passed. There have been no new church splits the last 20 years, as far as I know. The church decision makers of today have largely realized that their fight against the modern world view is much more important than re-hashing old battles. And that in order to do something constructive for their members they better be willing to work with people from other churches that have a slightly different view on points of doctrine.-DIA- schreef:That could well begallio schreef:The church walls there have been lowered a lot over the past 20 years.-DIA- schreef:Maybe in British Columbia, Chilliwack, Rosedale?
Are you referring to the split that started the RCNA church in the 1960's or the one that started the HRC about 15 years ago?-DIA- schreef:I have never been able to understand the split in Chilliwack/Rosedale
The HRC in Chilliwack started in 2003. I actually found a book on the www that mentions this split. The author could not determine what caused this split, but for insiders it was obvious it was not about a difference in doctrine.-DIA- schreef:The split of the Heritage Reformed Congegrations seems clear to me. I mean Rev. Joel Beeke in Grand Rapids (USA) in 1993.
I think the FRC and HRC have pretty good relations. Maybe at some point they will become one denomination?Canada schreef:In Ontario there is some cooperation between the more conservative Reformed churches in parachurch organizations such as Trinitarian Bible Society (TBS), Lord's Day Association and Bonisa. Some of their meetings are also attended by members of the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland in Chesley. I have heard speakers at these meetings from the FRC, HRC, NRC, RCNA and FPCS and the HHK in Springford. I am not aware, however, of any official meetings between the RCNA and the NRC or the FRC and the NRC like you have in Holland.
