World Communion of Reformed Churches
The World Communion of Reformed Churches is an ecumenical Christian body being formed by the union of the World Alliance of Reformed Churches and the Reformed Ecumenical Council.

After a two-day meeting ending on 1 February 2006, Douwe Visser, president of the Reformed Ecumenical Council and Clifton Kirkpatrick, president of the World Alliance of Reformed Churches, said in a joint letter to their constituencies, "We rejoice in the work of the Holy Spirit which we believe has led us to recommend that the time has come to bring together the work of the World Alliance of Reformed Churches and the Reformed Ecumenical Council into one body that will strengthen the unity and witness of Reformed Christians."

After first calling the potential body "World Reformed Communion", this was modified into "World Communion of Reformed Churches". The first meeting of the Uniting General Council of the WCRC is slated for June 18-28, 2010. It will meet at Grand Rapids, MI, under the auspices of the Christian Reformed Church in North America.

The World Communion of Reformed Churches will be the largest association of Reformed Churches in the world. Its member denominations on the whole would be considered more liberal than the member denominations of the International Conference of Reformed Churches or the World Reformed Fellowship, which are also large ecumenical Reformed organizations.

Potential Members

This is a list of the potential members of the World Communion of Reformed Churches based upon the membership of the parent organizations as listed on their official websites as of 28 April 2007.
