A further schism occurred in 1953, the congregation divided again, one group led by Hoeksema and Hanko, the other led by Rev. Hubert De Wolf. This resulted 2 denominations both called Protestant Reformed Church, the group led by De Wolf reunited with the CRCNA in 1961.〔(www.prca.org/standard_bearer/volume79/2003may01.html )〕〔(www.iclnet.org/pub/resources/text/reformed/archive94/nr94-044.txt )〕
