International Congregational Council : ウィキペディア英語版 | International Congregational Council The International Congregational Council was a worldwide association of Congregational Churches that was founded in 1891 and merged with the Alliance of the Reformed Churches Throughout the World Holding the Presbyterian Order to form the World Alliance of Reformed Churches. == Background and First Council==
The idea for a world Congregational congress was first mooted in 1874 by Dr. Hastings Ross in an article entitled "An Ecumenical Council of Congregational Churches in ''Congregational Quarterly''. His article was widely distributed in the United States, Canada and Great Britain. The idea was discussed at the 1880 Triennial Council of the Congregational Churches in the United States and on June 7, 1884 the Congregational Union of Ontario and Quebec approved the idea at its annual meeting in Montreal. The Canadian resolution asked the Congregational Union of England and Wales to consider the feasibility of such a meeting. The Congregational Union of England and Wales approved the idea, but practical steps to the congress only came after the Congregational Union of New South Wales approved the idea at a meeting in Melbourne in 1888. Two requests for a convention were formally presented to the Congregational Union of England and Wales in May 1889 and official adopted by the union. In October of that year the American Congregationalist unanimously approved the idea of the gathering at its Triennial Council in Worcester, Massachusetts, after being formally invited by the English. After much correspondence and deliberations by arrangement committees the First International Congregational Council opened in London at Memorial Hall on July 13, 1891. The Council finished its work on July 21, and an arrangements committee was set up to work with the National Council of the US Congregational Churches to convent the next Council in that country〔''The International Congregational Council, London, 1891, Authorised Record of Proceedings'' London: J. Clarke and Co., 1891 2d ed. pp.xxiii-xxiv, 13, 307〕
