- "This book is intended for the average reader or student of theology who would like to be better informed about ecumenism. `In order to understand the present, and move confidently into the future, one must have an appreciation of the past', says the author. The book therefore deals, in a non-technical way, with the theology and history of ecumenism, explains the origins of the main Christian denominations, gives a brief history of the World Council of Churches, and introduces some of the current issues. Ecumenical ethics and inter-religious dialogues form the subjects of the two final chapters. The author concludes each chapter with questions for group discussion, and ends the book with suggestions for practical ways in which the ordinary individual can promote ecumenism. Several appendices give useful background information". -- back cover.

- Includes bibliographical references and index.
- This book "asks how the community of faith as such can be both context and criterion for dealing with today's questions of shared life on earth, some of which involve threats to the continuation of life itself. The heart of the argument is that churches need to recover the vocation of providing primary moral formation, of shaping people's moral identity, long before politicized arguments begin". -- Preface, p. 8.
- "As it happens, these matters have also been the focus of a study process sponsored over the last four years by the World Council of Churches (WCC). The pages that follow are one participant's `take' on that international dialogue on `ecclesiology and ethics'." - Preface, p. 9.
- Contents divided into six main sections: A Calling to Be Different -- Seeing the World Through Ecumenical Lenses -- Formation: Generating Moral Capacities -- Formation: Discerning Moral Possibilities -- An Oikoumene of Moral Practices ? -- Horizons of Meaning and the Household of Life.

- "This book is about decision making, its underlying theme is that we cannot move directly from basic Christian insights to key areas where ethical choices have to be made without some kind of empirical investigation, with all the hazards which that brings. And the more detailed the analysis and recommendations drawn from the investigation, the greater the difference of opinion will be. This makes it important to work on particular topics in groups, looking for agreement at a middle level on a general direction: this is important where the situation is polarized, as it often is." -- back cover.

- "Roman Catholics on the Anglican-Roman Catholic Dialogue of Canada make a very strong statement indeed about the weakening of the relationship between the two churches if the Anglican Church of Canada allows same-sex marriage ('Roman Catholics weigh in on marriage canon', Sept. 2015, p. 6). The Archbishop of Canterbury [Justin Welby] has also expressed concern over The Episcopal Church's decision to all same-sex marriage. It is interesting to note that a number of our clergy are in same-sex relationships, have married outside the Anglican church and are presiding over Anglican parishes and cathedrals. I have two questions: is it not hypocritical for the Anglican church to ordain gay persons in a relationship, allow them to preside over parishes, but not allow them to marry in an Anglican church ? Secondly, and more importantly, are not faced with a conflict between unity and justice ? .... It seems to me that to accommodate the views and concerns of the Roman Catholic Church and the Archbishop of Canterbury on the basis of unity over justice for homosexuals is wrong".

- "An Agreed Statement by the Second Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission ARCIC II". -- title-page.
- "Popularly, it had been a fairly common perception that Anglicans and Roman Catholics differ profoundly in their approach to moral issues. In this Agreed Statement -- the first such statement from any international theological dialogue on moral issues -- these perceptions are brought into question. The statement describes a vision of the Christian life and its moral implications which is shared at root by Anglicans and Roman Catholics. On only two moral issues is there documented disagreement between our communions. Theological dialogue demonstrates how the different emphases on these issues and in other areas of Christian morality have arisen through the two communions living in separation since the break caused by the Reformation in the sixteenth century. This Agreed Statement offers the Churches new possibilities in working together so that they may speak with one voice on the essential moral issues which face our contemporary world". -- back cover.

- Notes
- "The main purpose of this study is to give expression to what the churches can now say together about the nature and purpose of the Church and within that perspective to state the remaining areas of disagreement. Thus, in the style of BEM, this document seeks to evolve into what could be called a convergence text. The present text is a first attempt to state that convergence. It is offered for study and discernment". -- Intro. p. 7.
