Jim Schaap on commemoration and sacraments at a CRC anniversary celebration
Yesterday, 3500 people showed up in a local gym to commemorate 150 years of history of the denomination of which I am a part--the Christian Reformed Church of North America. The size of the crowd was reassuring to the skeptic in me. I’ve thought long and hard about the future of the CRC--and denominationalism in general--and I’m quite sure there are many good arguments to assert its imminent demise. ... But there are also good reasons to believe that the CRC will continue--maybe even grow--and yesterday’s packed house was just one of them.
