Meeting Each Other in Doctrine, Liturgy, and Government: The Bicentennial of the Celebration of the Constitution of the Reformed Church in America (Paperback)

From the Publisher: This popular study of church history tells how the Reformed Church in America adapted itself to the new order of society in the aftermath of the American Revolution. In 1793 the Reformed Church recast its old Dutch constitution, inherited from the Synod of Dort, into a new constitution fully relevant to North America. An important part of the story has to do with how the doctrinal standards and the whole liturgy were also incorporated into the constitution.
