- "One such current is the reflection on the them of the unity of the Church and the unity of humankind. The purpose of this booklet is to describe the developments, course and effects of this current of reflection. 'Unity of the Church - Unity of Mankind' is not simply a Faith and Order theme. As will be clear from chapters 1 and 5, it is a fundamental -- possibly the most important -- theme of the ecumenical movement as a whole. The studies conducted by Faith and Order on this theme, summarized in chapters 2 to 4, represent no more nor less than the wide-ranging and diversified programme of research into this question. .... This summary is no more than an interim account. It attempts to point up the most important results of the study process so far. At the same time it opens up a new round in the debate. Part II aims to indicate some issues and problems which will need to be considered in our future discussions". -- Intro.
