> (And one schism further led to the church I grew up in.)
If you don't mind me asking, which church is that? Church schisms is just one of those topics that may seem very dry to most people, but I personally find fascinating
Nederlands Gereformeerde Kerken. We actually re-merged last year with the Gereformeerde Kerken (vrijgemaakt), which were in turn a result of the first schism I described. I find the underlying emotions and personalities (usually the most important!), doctrine and to some extent also the organizational issues quite interesting.
