Rev. Bradd Nymeyer is eminently qualified to do so for the URCNA Church Order. He believes in that church order as a matter of conviction, not simply convenience, and he has labored therein for decades with an eye to its particulars, not as an armchair observer, but often as a chairman of its governing bodies, serving five times as synodical chairman.

It will also serve readers as a useful introduction to those features of the Church Order that reflect the distinctive ethos of the URCNA and include some differences from other Reformed church orders. Although the URCNA’s Church Order clearly follows the general form of church government codified in the Church Order of Dort, it emphasizes the original and direct authority of the local church’s consistory in distinction from the delegated authority of broader assemblies (classes and synods). Nymeyer’s commentary reflects the wisdom and knowledge that comes from many years of able service in the URCNA, including several appointments to serve as clerk of classis and chairman of synod.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ascii-font-family: Aptos; mso-hansi-font-family: Aptos;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr. Cornelis P.

Others see it as a mystery, too complex for common men to grasp. Rev. Bradd Nymeyer disagrees.

Brother Nymeyer’s insight into the history and use of the Church Order is balanced by a warm love for the church, making this commentary an invaluable guide.

Rev. Bradd Nymeyer is eminently qualified to do so for the URCNA Church Order. He believes in that church order as a matter of conviction, not simply convenience, and he has labored therein for decades with an eye to its particulars, not as an armchair observer, but often as a chairman of its governing bodies, serving five times as synodical chairman. I know no one more interested in or conversant with this church order and thus I highly commend to all users of it the commentary of my friend Rev. Nymeyer.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ascii-font-family: Aptos; mso-hansi-font-family: Aptos;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr. Alan D.

It will also serve readers as a useful introduction to those features of the Church Order that reflect the distinctive ethos of the URCNA and include some differences from other Reformed church orders. Although the URCNA’s Church Order clearly follows the general form of church government codified in the Church Order of Dort, it emphasizes the original and direct authority of the local church’s consistory in distinction from the delegated authority of broader assemblies (classes and synods). Nymeyer’s commentary reflects the wisdom and knowledge that comes from many years of able service in the URCNA, including several appointments to serve as clerk of classis and chairman of synod.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ascii-font-family: Aptos; mso-hansi-font-family: Aptos;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr. Cornelis P.

Others see it as a mystery, too complex for common men to grasp. Rev. Bradd Nymeyer disagrees. He cherishes the Church Order as a tool, forged with wisdom by our spiritual forefathers, which guides God’s people to faithfully and wisely govern the church. Brother Nymeyer’s insight into the history and use of the Church Order is balanced by a warm love for the church, making this commentary an invaluable guide.
