The World Alliance of Reformed Churches (WARC) is a fellowship of more than 200 churches with roots in the 16th-century Reformation. Its headquarters are in Geneva, Switzerland.

History

In January 2006, Pope Benedict XVI held an audience with Clifton Kirkpatrick, president of WARC, discussing the three phases of the Reformed-Roman Catholic dialogue. This dialogue focused on steps which could potentially lead toward the unity of Christian faiths in the third millennium.

After a two-day meeting ending on 1 February 2006, Clifton Kirkpatrick, president of WARC, and Douwe Visser, president of Reformed Ecumenical Council (REC), 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." The new body would be called the World Reformed Communion.

Members (2006)

WARC brings together more than 75 million Christians in over 100 countries around the world.

Member churches are Congregational, Presbyterian, Reformed and united and uniting churches.

Most of these are in the southern hemisphere with many being religious minorities in their countries.
