RED churches

An exciting grassroots movement has begun on the West Coast.  Members, ministers, and ministers-in-training are becoming more committed to exercising their ecclesiastical unity.  Great things have happened throughout church history when Christ's Church works together.  Hopefully, this will be one such example.

The group is called RED Churches.  RED stands for Reformed Ecclesiastical Dialogue.  It's not a network or a coalition whose structures exist outside the government of the church (parachurch).  Instead, RED Churches is a fellowship of members of Reformed and Presbyterian churches.  These church members already have ecclesiastical ties through a group called NAPARC, and they are hoping to exercise those ties to their full potential - pulpit sharing, church planting, missions, and exposure to breadth of the Reformed tradition.
