Beyond Heather and Ploder

Our denominations have stories: tales of how the Lord formed us, how He led us through times of peace and conflict, times of abundance and scarcity, times of laughter and tears. As the heritage of the Reformed perspective belongs to both of us, some version of Presbyterian polity is [also in the Christian Reformed Church].

Scotland figures prominently in the narrative of the PCC.The Netherlands has to be mentioned when talking about the … CRC. But our tales go beyond those countries, and the Lord has taken us out of and beyond the heather and the polders.
