CULTIVATING A JUST COMMUNION
In living out God’s calling to communion, the WCRC firmly commits itself to justice
Our communion emerges from the contributions of all people of faith and therefore seeks to include persons and perspectives from the Communion’s rich diversity in every aspect of work together.
Solidarity with Members
Churches are often prophetic voices, especially in the face of injustices and in the midst of conflict.
The WCRC accompanies its member churches, coming alongside in solidarity, lifting global voices in prayer, providing critical resources, raising awareness of lesser known situations, and creating connections of support.
WCRC members represent more than 100 million Christians from more than 230 member churches in 109 countries across the globe.
Member churches grouped into geographic regions, with several of which have regional councils. Regional Councils play a pivotal role in strengthening communion between the churches by providing spaces for dialogue and action.
- Africa (Africa Communion of Reformed Churches)
- Asia (Northeast Asia Area Council; Communion of Reformed Churches in Indonesia)
- Caribbean (Caribbean and North American Area Council)
- Europe (WCRC Europe)
- Latin America (Latin America Alliance of Presbyterian and Reformed Churches)
- Middle East
- North America (Caribbean and North American Area Council)
- Pacific
- Global
Full and Just Participation
Our vision of a just communion is one where those in power relinquish their authority and consciously embrace the bodies and and hear the voices of those who have been excluded from full participation in the community.
The WCRC particularly opens itself to be challenged and enriched by the engagement of:
- Youth and young adults
- Women
- Indigenous peoples
- Persons discriminated against because of race
- Dalits and ethnic minorities
- People with disabilities
- People within the LGBTQ community
