The EPCEW (Evangelical Presbyterian Church of England and Wales, although including congregations in Sweden, Germany and Switzerland) has had its biennial ‘sister church relations meeting.’ It saw nine of the denominations with which EPCEW has formal relations give reports on their churches and pray.
The meeting was encouraging with a strong emphasis of unity, it was reported. For example Andreas Jongeneel of the Reformed Churches of the Netherlands said he hoped that this would be the last time his denomination would be represented as he said that by the next time they met the three Reformed denominations in the Netherlands might have merged. There was prayer for similar movements in the UK, particularly between EPCEW and IPC (International Presbyterian Church). Many of the delegates were reported to be impressively tall.
