 | The idea of a "Lord Of The Rings mass" over in Holland made Kathy Shaidle flinch and made Mark Shea's eyes roll back into his head, but fortunately De Telegraaf describes the place as a gereformeerde church -- that's Reformed, y'all. Whew: it's not one of ours. |
I guess the combination of being Dutch and Reformed doesn't mean the same thing there as it does here, given that they also held a "Harry Potter service".
The Dutch Reformed, like the Dutch Catholics have fallen a long ways since the days when they were allied together in the Anti-Revolutionary Party of Abraham Kuyper.
There -are- a few conservative Reformed left in the Netherlands. At least at L'Abri in Eck-en-Wiel and Utrecht.

But there aren't many.
Thank God. I thought it was a Catholic church.
When did the Dutch Reformed start calling their services "masses"?
I think that was the press' mistake.
Good to see there is at least a small group of Dutch "Christians for Truth" ('Christenen voor de waarheid'). Though it is a pity there aren't more.
Dutch and Reformed combined gives you Deformed.
