	Dutch Reformed Church - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Dutch Reformed Church or Netherlands Reformed Church (in Dutch: Nederlandse Hervormde Kerk (NHK)) is a historical denomination of Christian Protestantism based on the teachings of John Calvin.
		It was the oldest Reformed church in the Netherlands and before the demise of the Dutch Republic enjoyed status as the 'public' or 'privileged' church.
		The historical church organisation was swept aside by the 'Regulations' imposed by the new government and the church was put under royal control with its Synod being personally nominated by the King until 1852.

	Mission and lifestyle in the Dutch Reformed Church
		A new theological training, that has to be born from the Church itself to replace the old one that was the child of the DR Church's mission, still has to take clear form; so has the shape of the unity of the church and of a new, joint missionary movement.
		The DR Church's mission was shaped by the culture of it's time: churches were structured on racial lines; whites mostly had the initiative, authority, and financial responsibility; the mission promoted the modern lifestyle through education, medical care, theological curricula, architecture, clothing, names, technology.
		The church owes it to the youth to be exposed to the problems, the challenges, and the opportunities, so that they may enter the new century and new millennium with vision, energy, and hope, and that they may carry forward a dynamic, sensitive, well-conceived new missionary movement.
