The initial desire for self-determination and independence, much like a child yearning to move out of the family basement, has become urgent.
Recent actions by successive synods have shown a growing cultural divide between Canadian and American churches. We love and cherish much of what is in the CRC: Reformed theology; respect for diversity; tradition; and the concept that we are constantly reforming.
We seek to maintain these rich traditions and ministries in our unique Canadian context where our united desire to follow Jesus is not bound by uniformity but by love and compassion.
We seek to be the home for all Canadian members of the CRC. Each of us in our own unique way. Those who find themselves disenfranchised or despondent will find a home in the Canadian CRC. The path we choose will be ours alone.
It IS time.
