The International Council of Religious Education (hereafter referred to as the ICRE) was formed in 1922 at Kansas City through the merging of the International Sunday School Association and the Sunday School Council of Evangelical Denominations. The International Sunday School Association was created in 1905 to care for the Sunday school conventions which had begun in 1832. The Sunday School Council was organized in 1910 by the officers of denominational boards. The ICRE, consisting of forty denominational boards of religious education and thirty-three state councils of churches and religious education, combined lay and professional strength for closer interdenominational cooperation in Christian education. The ICRE operated under a charter granted by the United States Congress to the International Sunday School Association in 1907.
