Is it Time to Initiate the Christian Reformed (CRCNA) End of Life Directive?

Two weeks ago John Van Donk and I spoke with Clay Libolt about the Reformational Biblical interpretation in the context of the upcoming Human Sexuality report in the CRCNA. This time John brought together two friends for a conversation about more practical matters relating to the denomination. Doug Vande Griend is a lawyer who has extensive experience in the CRCNA at the nexus of the law and the church order. Dale Feikema is the "House Steward" of John's local church. We being talking about some legal things but the conversation eventually pursues whether or not the CRCNA has a mission today.

Notes: 

Human Sexuality CRC Report: will create discussion and perhaps animosity, division in the CRCNA. 

There was a seminary in search of a denomination: Mid-America Seminary

These guys are loyal to a denomination that no longer exists

What is the institutional church

What was the purpose of the CRC denomination: two divinely ordained missions: provide a nurturing, safe, comfortable place for Dutch immigrants, help the assimilate. Sponsor world missions. 

Those callings are completing. The CRC end of life directive. 

It was that Van Donk that you gave me

Pastors adjusting to evangelical market forces

Generic Christianity, 

You don’t find people there, at least not for church.

Pentecostal is significant. Reformed.
