Included in this exhaustive collection of documents from the
twentieth-century ecumenical movement are significant passages from
the most widely influential texts produced by assemblies,
conferences, and studies of the World Council of Churches and
similar bodies, covering the three broad areas of historic concern
within modern ecumenism: faith and order, life and work, and
mission and evangelism. Designed as a resource for courses in
ecumenism in theological seminaries and faculties of religion, the
volume can also serve as a useful reference guide. In addition to
selections from the WCC and other global Christian bodies, the
collection includes texts from various regions of the world. From
The Critics "This anthology is useful as a resource for teaching,
whether upper-level college courses, seminaries, congregations, or
workshops, and an excellent reference tool for those involved in
ecumenical efforts. Likely to become a standard work, this text
inspires readers with a vision that holds the search for unity and
the pursuit of justice, explicit witness to Christ, and renewal of
creation, in appropriate tension. A valuable reference tool for all
engaged in common Christian witness and service. "A "must" for all
theological libraries and a necessary tool for all who study or
teach the ecumenical movement or simply wish to understand where
the churches are today-and why " - Religious Studies Review "This
