From One Church to Another

FRCA
ARTICLE 7 – From one church to another
A minister once lawfully called shall not leave the church to which he is bound to take up the ministry elsewhere without the consent of his consistory with the deacons and the approval of classis.
Likewise, no church shall receive him unless he has presented a proper certificate of release from the church and the classis where he served, or from the church only if he remains within the same classis.
CANRC
ARTICLE 9 – From One Church to Another
A minister, once lawfully called, shall not leave the church to which he is bound to take up the ministry elsewhere without the consent of the consistory with the deacons and the approval of classis.
On the other hand, no church shall receive him unless he has presented a proper certificate of release from the church and the classis where he served, or of the church only, if he remains within the same classis.

Een Dienaer eens Wettelijcken beroepen zijnde / mach die Ghemeynte daer hy sonder Conditie aenghenomen is / niet verlaten / om elders een beroepinge aen te nemê / sonder bewilligingh des Kercken-Raedts met de Diaconen / ende de ghene die te voren in dienst eñ Ouderling-schap ende Diaken-schap gheweest zijn / mitsgaders die van de Magistraet / ende met voorweten vande Classe / ghelijck oock geen ander Kercke hem sal moghen ontvanghen / eer hy wettelijcke getuygenisse zijns afscheyts vande Kercke eñ Classe / daer hy gedient heeft / verthoont hebbe.
