Well . . it's a voluntary federation. There is no higher authority than the local Consistory, as I understand it.

What about doctrinal differences?
There are different emphases, but not really doctrinal differences. They subscribe to the Three Forms of Unity.

"It is part of the calling of the ekklesia to learn to know the love of Christ that surpasses all knowledge and also to make known within the world of science 'the manifold wisdom of God' in order that the final end of theology, as of all things, may be that the name of the Lord is glorified. Theology and dogmatics, too, exist for the Lord's sake." — Herman Bavinck, Reformed Dogmatics, vol. 1, p. 46
