IKV
Following the merger of several churches, the IKV board now consists of seven member churches: the Roman Catholic Church, the Protestant Church in the Netherlands, the Remonstrant Brotherhood, the General Baptist Society, the Old Catholic Church, the Evangelical Brotherhood and the Religious Society of Friends, better known as Quakers.
PAX
PAX was founded from the organisations Pax Christi and IKV: from the 1960s the figureheads of the peace movement in the Netherlands.Since 2006, they have worked together in one peace organisation, since 2014 under the name PAX.
Today, PAX is one organisation. Independent of political interests, supported by a broad group of committed citizens and civil society organisations. The IKV Board and the Pax Christi Member Council monitor PAX’s mission, based on two central values:
- human dignity;
- solidarity with peace activists and victims of war.
