Kuyper notes that a comparison of the proceeds from the diaconal collections of the Dutch Reformed and the dolerenden show that the meetings of the dolerende church have raised well more than twice as much money as the eleven Amsterdam churches. He also notes that the annual proceeds from the diaconal collection of the dolerende church in Rotterdam greatly exceed the annual proceeds of the Amsterdam meetings. But if sacrifices should truly be made, he argues, “then the Spirit who liberates from every bond shall perform miracles here as well.” Finally, Kuyper reports that the planned celebration of the Lord’s Supper has been postponed because the consistory does not have membership records at its disposal and must now find another way to determine who has and who has not received admission to the Lord’s Supper.
