- "The statement published here marks a major advance in the ecumenical journey. The result of a fifty-year process of study and consultation, this text on baptism, eucharist and ministry represents the theological convergence that has been achieved, through decades of dialogue, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Over one hundred theologians met in Lima, Peru, in January 1982, and recommended unanimously to transmit this agreed statement -- the Lima text -- for the common study and official response of the churches. They represented virtually all the major church traditions: Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Old Catholic, Lutheran, Anglican, Reformed, Methodist, United, Disciples, Baptists, Adventists and Pentecostal. The churches' response to this agreed statement will be a vital step in the ecumenical process of 'reception'." -- back cover.

- "This book records the reflections and experience of some twenty Christians -- liturgists, theologians, church musicians, pastors -- who gathered at a Faith and Order consultation held in Faverges, France, in 1997"-- Intro. p. [1]. This book "focusses on baptism in relation to the unity of the church. Exploring patterns of baptismal practice today, including striking examples of inculturation from around the world, and noting continuing problems such as 're'-baptism, it calls the churches to draw the full implications of their `mutual recognition of baptism'. It also insists on the links between liturgy and life, offering fresh perspectives on the relation between baptism and Christian ethics." -- back cover.

- "Baptism, Eucharist and Ministry (BEM) remains a seminal text for the churches and the ecumenical movements. Since its publication in 1982, this World Council of Churches Faith and Order convergence document has been translated into more than 40 languages, has remained an ecumenical best-seller, and has been the basis of many official agreements between churches. This vibrant collection of essays, from a wide range of confessional and regional perspectives, explores the continuing legacy of BEM. Articles trace the influence of BEM -- and the challenge it continues to pose today -- in areas such as worship, ecclesiology, the churches' social witness, and local parish life. But critical questions are also raised: how far have the churches acted upon the agreements signalled in BEM ? Was there full participation in the BEM process in all regions of the world ? And what does the churches' experience with BEM tell us about the next stage of the ecumenical journey ?" -- back cover.
- "[M]ost of the contributors -- who wrote of course as individual theologians from various traditions -- were invited to reflect on the legacy of BEM for a volume dedicated to the 80th birthday of Lukas Vischer, Director of Faith and Order during most of the long process of envisioning and producing the text. In this sense this volume may be regarded as a Festschrift for Lukas Vischer, offered in tribute to his commitment to the cause of the visible unity of the church". -- Preface.
