2013 marks the 450th anniversary of the Heidelberg Catechism. In honour of this important date in Reformed church history, WCRC is publishing a booklet with information on the catechism’s historical and theological background, an order of service, sermon notes, ideas for Bible study and an article that relates the Heidelberg Catechism to WCRC’s Accra Confession. At the end of the publication there are brief articles about “signs of hopes” from students who attended WCRC’s Global Institute for Theology (GIT) in 2012. This publications is offered to encourage churches in the Reformed tradition to celebrate this important occasion.
