CRCNA Synod 2024 Recap | Thursday, June 20

Reverends Wagenmaker and Parsels are back this year as the official Abide Project Synod Reporters!
Synod reconvened today for their final day of plenary session; delegates will be heading home today to wherever they are from. There were a few decisions made that Tyler and Cedric recap and they also recap the entire week of synod highlighthing some of the major decisions made by the church. We are thankful to God for so many positive decisions that put the CRC on a firm biblical and confessional ground, and thankful for the diligent work of the offices, Derek, Stephen, Josh, and Dan.

I grew up with a lot of family and friends who are CRC. This is incredible news. God Bless this denomination.

What good news and an answer to prayer. I grew up in and love the CRC church. As I'm living in VA I'm now a member of the PCA.

Appreciate the update, grew up in the CRC and have been concerned about the trajectory towards cultural ideology instead of biblical truth. Happy with the outcome.

You demonstrate the same selective reporting that FOX news does in the political sphere. You conveniently avoided mentioning that Better Together got the idea of "Protest" from a midwestern classis that has sent delegates to Synod for 25 years "under protest" over the women in office issue. I genuinely hope you are right, that this will be the start of a revival in the CRC (I''m fascinated you use the word "revival," a word foreign to the Reformed tradition). May God bless what remains of the CRC and those of us who have been forced out against our will.

If you read overtures 47 or 48, they clearly outline how the WICO protest was directly created and allowed by Synod, and how different that is from these churches that were trying to "qualify" their participation in the denomination. The two forms of "protest" have nothing in common.

[@jankragt7789]

There is a real difference and the movement you are in will continue to insist on its way. I am really impressed with how the CRC is handling this is a caring but firm way. The acrimony would have been/could have been long & ugly if the truth of these differences were denied.

Great work brethren!

3:28 Are individuals in a state of protest able to take Communion?

[@lloydhemstreet3226]

Discipline of members is governed by the local Council, and baring from Communion is generally one of the steps, so I would doubt any were immediately barred from the table?
