The World Communion of Reformed Churches called for ‘meaningful responses to natural disasters’ following the flooding in Europe over the summer.

A WCRC statement read: “The recent floods in Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium have led to a catastrophic loss of life and livelihood.

Accounts from member churches in the affected areas speak of a disaster that will take several months to overcome, with the immediate response being of rescue and relief but the longer-term goals of rehabilitation of damaged communities, property, and ecosystems.

The World Communion of Reformed Churches (WCRC) calls for pastoral and compassionate empathy and solidarity with those who are suffering in the present crisis. We call for prayer for affected communities in Germany, the Netherlands ,and Belgium. We call for the financial support of these communities as they struggle to rebuild what has been lost.” (WCRC)
