Protestant Reformed Missions, Years of Trial: Missions Threatened (1947-1953) (4)

This article examines Protestant Reformed mission work among Dutch immigrant communities in Canada between 1949-1950, focusing on doctrinal tensions—particularly regarding covenant theology—that emerged between the PRC and the Liberated Churches and contributed to the denomination's 1953 split. Bruinsma traces how missionary decisions made after the 1948 Synod, despite theological objections from Rev. George Ophoff, shaped the trajectory of the PRC's internal conflicts during this pivotal period.
