One has to remember that the URCNA (like my former federation the OCRC) came out of a hierarchical and almost tyrannical situation where the church leadership ruled top -> down and imposed many decisions on consistories and congregations without proper procedure and due process being followed.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the URC composed largely of CRC congregations that split after the WIO kerfuffle in the 90's? If so, the CRC, as I understand it, is likewise rather voluntary and the consistory carries the power, as classis is just a
broader authority and not a hierarchical authority. But I may be wrong...
