Merge the Dutch Reformed Church In 1816 and the Walloon Churches to the Dutch Reformed Church. In the second half of the nineteenth century the contradictions within the Dutch Reformed Church increasingly play a role, there are large differences in view on the Church teaching between Liberals and rechtzinnigen. The prominent Pastor Abraham Kuyper know part of the Orthodox faith to channel discontent in the Doleantie of 1886, which leads to another retirement of large groups of believers from the Dutch Reformed Church and the establishment of the reformed churches in the Netherlands, where many Secessionist connect municipalities.

After the secession of the most conservative part of the reformed churches in the Netherlands in the Release of 1944, modernise the reformed churches in the 1960s and 1970s under the influence of social developments. The decompartmentalization and the ideal of ecumenism leads to a beginning of ecclesiastical cooperation between the Dutch Reformed Church and the reformed churches in the Netherlands, the two largest Protestant-Protestant denominations. This hand in hand-process flows do not compress well, but end up in a fusion of both churches with the Evangelical Lutheran Church to the Protestant Church in the Netherlands (PKN) in 2004. The PKN has since become the largest Protestant denomination in reformed-Netherlands. Still there are large differences in views on this denomination the Church teaching and practice. These differences, however, rarely lead to conflicts because the Church municipalities at local level (in cities at neighbourhood level) are each sufficiently homogeneous in opinion.
