The ACRL purpose was “to defend the Reformed faith from all trends of thought and action hostile thereto.” The collection reflects the following issues within the Christian Reformed Church:  creation account, five points of Calvinism, professors’ viewpoints, social gospel, and humanism; and includes the following organizational materials: constitution, articles, correspondence, speeches, pamphlets, brochures, handbook, and their newsletter. ACRL changed its name to Association for Reformed Unity in 1981.
