Papers and reports published in Mid-Stream: An Ecumenical Journal, 27, 2 (1988).July, 1994 – Indianapolis, Indiana USA
A WARC/Disciples of Christ Ecumenical Consultation recommended closer monitoring of Disciples of Christ-Reformed relations.

January 14-16, 2002 – Geneva, Switzerland
“The consultation was called to review WARC-Disciples relations in the recent past and to consider the way forward. Having studied the reports produced in 1984 and 1986 and in view of the recognition by both parties of one another as visible expressions of the one church of Christ, the consultation recommends that the goal of relations between WARC and DECC should now be the development of comprehensive partnership in pursuit of the vision of the two eventually becoming one” – REPORT
