THE Christian Reformed Church of Australia came into being in the early 1950s. It was formed primarily by Dutch migrants and their offspring who did not wish to become part of the Presbyterian Church of Australia (1901) on account of that denomination’s tolerance of Freemasonry, which, at that time, was prevalent in her midst!
I didn’t know I was a theologically “reformed” Christian until I sat in the
Reformed Church in Toowong! The first time I was there, I was thumbing
through one of their hymnbooks before the Sunday morning service of worship
began. It had a copy of the Heidelberg Catechism in it. As I read the Catechism,
tears began to fill my eyes! I thought to myself, “If these people believe what is
written in their Catechism, then I have arrived home!” The Catechism spelled
out, in warm pastoral language, what Christians believe. There was no guessing.
It was written down for all to read. I asked if I could take it home to study it. The
favour was granted. (Excerpted from my From Mason to Minister book)
