By Dick Roorda CLINTON - In the last article, l stated the Christian Reformed Church had its roots in USA. I'd like to elaborate on the history of the church a little bit more. Its history began really after the 80 years war with Spain m the year 1648. Frain that time on the Reformed Church became the official church in the Netherlands instead of the Roman Catholic Church. This brought its own problems. When the church was persecuted, it remained true to its doc- trines, but with freedom, it began to stray. In 1816, King William I took away the government of the church and made the Dutch Reformed Church the state church. Ironically, when groups of seceders broke away from this church to meet separately, they persecuted in much the same way as when the Catholic church was the state church. It was a group of these seceders who came to Michigan. in the early 1800s. At first they joined the Dutch Reformed Church, which was, -already in the US since the founding of New Ain'sterdam 200 years.earlier. But that lasted only a few years, since they saw some of the same problems in the Dutch Reform- ed Church which had led to secession in the Netherlands. In 1857, the Christian Reformed Church was formed, and was called the Holland Reformed Church. Later it was called the True Dutch Reformed Church. Still later it was the Holland Christian Reformed Chur- ch, and finally was shortened to Christian Reformed Church. In those early years, the dutch language and heritage played an important part in the church, and was used as a means of in - sulating the church from outside influences. One got the impression that God spoke and understood only Dutch! However, English finally won out, and is now used exclusively. The Church grew from that beginning through itnmigration, especially after World War II when it really grew in Canada. The Clinton church was organized in 1948. The local church is quite large now and in an effort to promote communion, and to br- ing the congregation closer together, district meetings are held occasionally. Here small groups discuss a common topic and have fellowship. These were held on December 16 at various homes. also survived by his mother, Mrs. Lillie West of London and by eight grandchildren. Mr. West was well known in the Bayfield conununity as he ran an antique shop in the village.
