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.
