Protestant Reformed Missions, Small Beginnings: Mission Methods Established (1925-1931) (4)

This article examines a significant 1929 Classis meeting of the Protestant Reformed Churches where a home missions committee recommended intensified doctrinal instruction to enable members to evangelize other churches, a proposal that was ultimately rejected. Bruinsma analyzes the possible reasons for this rejection, reflecting on the PRC's existing strengths in catechetical instruction, covenant education, and doctrinal fidelity, while questioning whether the motion reflected genuine pastoral concern or problematic motivations for evangelism.
