Description: A 1996 listing of membership totals in Dutch Reformed churches in the Netherlands and in North America.
From: [email protected] Date: Sun, 6 Oct 1996 04:18:13 -0400 (EDT) NR #1996-105: For Immediate Release Membership Totals for Dutch Reformed Denominations in North America and the Netherlands Editors Note: The following is a complete list of the membership totals for all denominations of Dutch Reformed heritage in North America, based on the most recent official denominational yearbooks or information from denominational officials. The number reported corresponds to the "inclusive membership" figure reported to the Yearbook of American and Canadian Churches but will often be more recent, and in all cases except that of the RCA is a total of professing and baptized members. RCA totals include 43,634 inactive members, a category included by no other denomination on this list, and this total should therefore be subtracted for comparison purposes. Membership totals for the United Reformed Churches in North America and the independent Reformed churches are produced by comparing the 1996 Alliance of Reformed Churches directory with the synodical reports of the URC synod constituting membership, corrected in three cases to include secessions from the CRC not reflected in the ARC yearbook. These three secessions total 397 members, and while 277 of these members are also counted as members in the 1996 CRC yearbook, this represents a statistically insignificant dual report in the CRC numbers.
