The Christian Reformed Church is part of the worldwide family of churches
descended from the Reformed Church of the Netherlands, an offshoot of an 1832
separation in the Reformed Church which took place back in the Netherlands. 19th
Century immigrants brought this to the US, where the CRC was first established
in 1857. The church which is the direct lineal descendant of the church
established in New Netherland is another denomination - the Reformed Church in
America (formerly the Protestant Dutch Reformed Church in the United States)

various branches of the Reformed Church in the US and the Netherlands ]
I do not know if the RCA has a denominational flag, but their logo can be seen
at
http://www.rca.org/logo/index.html and their arms at

The CRC magazine is called 'The Banner', and an illustration of its current
issue can be found at
http://www.thebanner.org/cpbn_latestissue.htm. It is not clear whether the
cover of this magazine depicts an actual banner or not. In any event, I have
e-mailed the Church to find out if they have an actual church banner or flag.
