The fact that the DRC officially took the name is owned to it’s General Synod to which decisions over this kind of thing, is given. The name “Dutch Reformed” was thus accepted in 1962. Both the terms “reformed” and “Dutch” in connection with the DRC, has a history to which the present DRC still adds meaning.
