	WARC team sees encouraging signs of Dutch reformed unity
		In 1829, the synod of the Dutch Reformed Church (DRC) declared that it was theologically wrong that "people of colour" should be prevented from sharing in communion with whites, but in 1857, the synod lost its theological nerve, ruling that "as a result of the weakness of some" segregation should be permitted.
