History
In 1875, 64 deputy representing 21 Churches founds the Alliance of the Churches reformed in the world having adopted the system presbytérien in London. In 1877, the first General meeting with place, Alliance gathers on this date 49 Churches, primarily in the Anglo-Saxon world, with some churches on the continent of Europe. Although seeking to go towards the unit of the Churches, Alliance does not manage to formulate a Confession of faith common to the whole of the reformed Churches.
In 1893, it tackles in a conference of the committees missionaries of its Churches the question of the disunion between the Churches of metropolises and those of colonized countries, it makes the choice support the young Churches.
In margin of these General meetings, Alliance holds of the conferences for the women, the young people, etc
With the Declaration of Basle in 1951, it supports the Œcuménisme.
Simultaneously with the efforts of the presbytériens, the congretionalists are them-also gathered on a world level. In 1891, a first conference takes place in London. Several meetings will follow until 1948 when a secretariat is set up, and the Conseil international congregationalist becomes truly organized.
In the Years 1950, the two organizations start discussions of bringing together, and in 1960, a Joint Committee is formed.
In 1970, they decide to amalgamate with the Parliament of Nairobi to form world reformed Alliance.
Since February 2006, it started discussions with the oecumenical Conseil reformed with an aim of forming a new alliance of all the reformed tradition world reformed Communion.
This community reacted against a document of the Congrégation for the doctrines of the faith specifying the direction of the expression Subsistit in.
