- Notes
- "There are two fields of thought and action dealt with by Lambeth and Amsterdam specially pertinent to the work of this Council. These are social relationships and international affairs. The year 1948 will probably prove to be an important milestone, possibly a turning point, in Church history, in so far at least as theology bears upon social matters. To Anglicans in particular the meeting of the Bishops of our world-wide Communion has left an impressive series of Resolutions and of Reports accepted as a most helpful directive by clergy and people. The World Council of Churches, while lacking representatives from the powerful Roman Church and of a few national Churches, was, nevertheless, the most representative gathering of Christian people -- appointed delegates from the organized Churches -- since the days of the early Ecumenical Councils". -- Editor's Note.
