BIRTH DATE OF THE CRC: APRIL 29, 1857 (due to hymns, choirs, union sunday school books, non-reformed allowed to parking in communion, etc)

"Specific objections of the seceders included:

• The use of hymns in worship instead of only psalms.
• The use of choirs in worship.
• Use of Union Sunday School books, which were not rooted in Reformed doctrine.
• Admission of any evangelical Christian to communion, not just those of the Reformed faith.
• Allowing ministers of other evangelical denominations to preach.

Representatives of the Grand Rapids, Graafschap, Polkton, Vriesland, and Noordeloos congregations organized as the Classis of Michigan on April 29, 1857, the birthdate of the Christian Reformed denomination."
