RCA or PCA?

[Hardesty]

Can some one tell me the differences between the RCA and the PCA? Is it simply Dutch vs Westminster?

In the case of those two denominations, the differences are much larger than the very minor theological differences between the Westminster Standards and the Three Forms of Unity. The RCA is a mainline denomination that is at least moderate to liberal in its orientation, although there are still conservatives/confessionalists in there, such as Kevin DeYoung. The PCA, on the other hand, is a conservative reformed church body, although it is kind of a big tent with a lot of diversity. In the PCA you will find confessional reformed and broad evangelicals, but overall not much in terms of liberal Christianity.
