Page "New Apostolic Church" Paragraph 4

The New Apostolic Church ( NAC ) is a chiliastic church, converted to Protestantism as a free church from the Catholic Apostolic Church.

The church has existed since 1879 in Germany and since 1897 in the Netherlands.

It came about from the schism in Hamburg in 1863, when it demerged from the Catholic Apostolic Church, which itself started in the 1830s as a renewal movement in, among others, the Anglican Church and Church of Scotland.
