Without going into all the specifics, it relates to helping each other remain true to the Reformed faith, keeping each other informed about major ecclesiastical decisions, accepting each other’s members, inviting delegates to each other’s assemblies or synods, allowing each other’s ministers to preach the Word, keeping each other informed about relations with other parties.

Covenant Canadian Reformed Teachers College; A teachers college was established in 1981 to train Christian teachers to serve in the field of education.
