NR 1997-115: For Immediate Release Speakers, Business, and Budgets for Upcoming Conferences by Darrell Todd Maurina, Press Officer United Reformed News Service SEOUL, South Korea (October 23, 1997) URNS -- Before adjourning, the International Conference of Reformed Churches adopted a number of concluding motions to handle housekeeping and other matters. The next ICRC meeting will be hosted in the year 2001 by the Orthodox Presbyterian Church at a location and date to be selected in consultation with the Interim Committee; seek a host church for the 2005 meeting; formulate a more detailed agenda for each day's business; ensure that all papers are distributed to delegates and observers and make them available to visitors and the press; and select topics for papers, speakers, and the number of papers which have not yet been determined by the ICRC. Suggested topics for speeches included "the Work of the Holy Spirit in the Believer," "Preaching," "Reformed Hermenetics," "the Church Growth Movement," "Ecumenicity and Missions," "Polygamy in Relation to Baptism and the Lord's Table," "the Task of the Church in a Secular Society," "the Challenges of this Age," and "the Regulative Principle." The ICRC also adopted a four-year budget for the years 1998 through 2001 totaling $119,000, to be collected by assessments based on denominational membership and per-capita income.
