Wikipedia's article on the Uniting Reformed Church in Southern Africa, community-edited. Reliable for the precise 14 April 1994 date of the union of the Dutch Reformed Church in Africa (formed 1963) and the Dutch Reformed Mission Church (formed 1881), both descended from Dutch Reformed Church mission work dating to 1652, and for the Dutch Reformed Church's own continued non-participation in the union it never joined.

Assessment
Reliability Tier3
Community-edited reference page, tier 3, giving the precise 14 April 1994 date the WCC's own member profile above does not; the year, the two predecessor churches and the DRC's non-participation all agree between the two sources with no contradiction. NotesUsed for the precise 14 April 1994 union date and the two predecessor churches' own founding years.
