Episode 295: 295. What the URCNA Won't Compromise: Doctrine, Polity, and the Form of Subscription

When the United Reformed Churches in North America formed in 1996, they didn't just create another denomination; they made deliberate choices about identity rooted in centuries of Reformed tradition. From adopting the Three Forms of Unity to implementing a strict subscription rooted in the Synod of Dort, to maintaining commitments such as catechetical preaching, every decision reveals the URCNA's commitment to preserving Reformed confessionalism. Dr. Cornelis Venema joins us to explore how confessional standards function in church life, how subscription shapes accountability, and why understanding these theological distinctives matters for anyone interested in Reformed ecclesiology today.
