Why is the CRC considering the Belhar Confession?

The Uniting Reformed Church in Southern Africa (URCSA) has given the Belhar Confession as a gift to the worldwide Reformed community because the use or application of this confession in the life of the church is far wider than its original context. The URCSA has asked Reformed churches around the world—by way of the World Alliance of Reformed Churches (WARC) and the Reformed Ecumenical Council (REC)—to consider adopting the Belhar Confession so as to make it a part of the global Reformed confessional basis (Agenda for Synod 1999, pp. 197-200; Agenda for Synod 2003, pp. 235, 246; Acts of Synod 2007, p. 592).
