About the ICRC

The ICRC is a conference of Reformed Churches around the world held once every four years.

The purpose of the conference is:

to express and promote the unity of faith that the member churches have in Christ;
to encourage the fullest ecclesiastical fellowship among the member churches;
to encourage cooperation among the member churches in the fulfillment of the missionary and other mandates;
to study the common problems and issues that confront the member churches and to aim for recommendations with respect to these matters;
to present a Reformed testimony to the world.

The logo of the ICRC may be explained as follows:

The circle, a symbol of the world, indicates the international character of the ICRC. Around the circle we see the Church, which began small and is moving out into all the world, as the ICRC also makes clear. A continuing movement signified in the unfinished, open end. The cross, a symbol of the Church. At its starting point it is a symbol of Christ's redemptive work for all the world. The cross spans the whole world. The curved lines also support the dynamic movement in the history of the Church.
