WCRC links Presbyterian, Reformed, Congregational, Waldensian, United and Uniting churches. Renewed and Reformed WCRC was born through the merger of the World Alliance of Reformed Churches (WARC) and the Reformed Ecumenical Council (REC) in June 2010. Delegates meeting June 18-28 in Grand Rapids, United States, launched a landmark effort to unite Christians for common witness and service to the world. Historic Roots WCRC has its roots in the 16th-century Reformation led by John Calvin, John Knox, Ulrich Zwingli and the earlier reforming movements of Jan Hus and Peter Valdes. Today most member churches are in the Global South and many are called to witness as religious minorities in their countries. WCRC has its secretariat in Geneva, Switzerland.
