World Reformed Fellowship
The World Reformed Fellowship is an ecumenical Christian body which promotes unity between conservative Reformed churches around the world. The World Fellowship of Reformed Churches (WFRC) was formed in 1994 when the Presbyterian Church in America, the National Presbyterian Church in Mexico, and the Presbyterian Church of Brazil and member churches mainly from the Latin American countries, India, East Africa and the USA. The International Reformed Fellowship (IRF) was formed also in 1994 with Reformed churches in South Korea, Indonesia, Taiwan, Japan, and from all part of Asia. The World Fellowship of Reformed Churches and the International Reformed Fellowship united on October 24, 2000 to form the World Reformed Fellowship.[citation needed]
The WRF is a fellowship not a council and want to fulfill the dream of John Calvin, Jonathan Edwards, George Whitefield and the writer of the Westminster Confession to unite truly Reformed Christians. Members have to agree with:
- Scriptures of the Old and New Testament
- Apostoles Creed, Nicene Creed, Chalcedon Creed
- historic Reformed Confessions like Scots Confession, Gallic Confession, Belgic and Heidelberg Confession, Canons of Dort, Westminster Confession of Faith, Savoy Declaration, Second London Baptist Confession of Faith.
World Reformed Fellowship wants to promote Reformed thinking, encourage churches and people to embracr Reformed thinking, and to promote evangelisation in the Reformed tradition and to provide forum for dialoge. [1]
It is similar in theology to the International Conference of Reformed Churches and more conservative than the World Communion of Reformed Churches and Reformed Ecumenical Council.[citation needed]
There are a total of 54 denominational members of the Fellowship, and 104 organizational members, as of May 5, 2011.[2]
