PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH OF INDIA In 1875 Twenty-one Presbyterian churches from Europe and North America met in London to establish ‘The Alliance of the Reformed Churches throughout the World holding the Presbyterian System’. The International Congregational Council first met in 1891. These two bodies merged in 1970 to form the World Alliance of Reformed Churches (Presbyterian and Congregational). In this Presbyterian Church of India emblem, confluencing of the three circles indicates Trinity.
