**************
You are correct. I grew up in that denomination. Went from conservative to leftist in about 30 years.
The CRC is a hotbed of the NeverTrump crew in W. Michigan.
Cruz won all three of the core counties that make up most of their membership (Kent, Ottawa,and Muskegon).
“Statement on the Treatment of Refugees
As leaders of denominational ministries and institutions of the Christian Reformed Church in the United States and Canada, we are alarmed by the recent U.S. president’s executive order drastically cutting the number of refugees who will be welcomed to the United States, and pausing all refugee resettlement for 120 days. The Old Testament repeatedly issues a call to welcome, love, defend, and not oppress the foreigner (e.g. Ex 23:9, Deut 10:19, Lev 19:34, Zech 7:10); the New Testament emphasizes the virtue of hospitality toward strangers (e.g. Matt 25:35, Heb 13:2). It is clear that our church has been called by Scripture and our own unique history to the work of welcoming refugees, and the need to welcome has never been felt more deeply than today.”
