Abstract:
The interrelationship between 'Rev C Spoelstra and the Nederduitsch
Hervormde Kerk' is studied from three different perspectives: Spoelstra
with or as part of the church (a positive relationship). Secondly, there is
the increasing tension between Spoelstra and Rev M J Goddefroy (Goddefroy eventually became to Spoelstra the representation of the whole Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk). Thirdly, Spoelstra opposed the whole Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk and not only Goddefroy.
