abstract
  • At the time of its formation, the PKN consisted of roughly 2,000 congregations with a membership of some 2,300,000, about 15% of the Dutch population. After the Roman Catholic Church, it is the second largest church body in the Netherlands. The PKN has four different types of congregations: 1. * Protestant Congregations are local congregations from different church bodies that have merged. 2. * Dutch Reformed congregations 3. * Reformed Churches (congregations of the former Reformed Churches in the Netherlands) 4. * Lutheran congregations (congregations of the former Evangelical-Lutheran Church) Lutheran congregations are special in that they are federated in a separate Lutheran Synod, which is an autonomous synod within the PKN. The Lutheran Synod also has representatives in the PKN Synod. The PKN is a denomination which contains both liberal and conservative movements. Local congregations have far-reaching powers concerning "controversial" matters (such as whether or not women are admitted as members of the congregation's consistory or admittance to holy communion).
