IRD Activities
- Dialogues
Our Office of Theology and Communion offers a wide-range of opportunities for study, reflection and dialogue on matters of interest to Reformed church leaders and lay people, including youth. The office initiates activities to stimulate reflection on Reformed theology and on what it means for member churches to belong to a “Communion”—a concept that requires closer bonds among member churches than in a network or association. The WCRC engages in a number of dialogues with other ecumenical, Christian organizations as well as interfaith dialogue.
