Corporate Author: World Council of Churches. Assembly (7th : 1991 : Canberra, A.C.T.)

Notes: "World Council of Churches Seventh Assembly 1991". -- title-page.; "The theme chosen for the seventh assembly of the World Council of Churches is a prayer: Come Holy Spirit -- Renew the Whole Creation. Four sub-themes, also formulated as prayers, spell out the overall theme, and seek to bring together the basic teachings of scripture and tradition on the person and work of the Holy Spirit. These sub-themes are confessions about the Spirit, but they also point to the issues we face as churches and societies -- issues we must address when we meet in assembly as a fellowship of churches. This booklet provides a shorter version of the background papers on the sub-themes and the major issues they open up, and is designed for churches and groups to begin the discussion". -- back cover.; Contents: Introduction -- Section I: Sub-theme 1: Giver of Life: Sustain Your Creation ! -- Section II: Sub-theme 2: Spirit of Truth: Set us Free ! -- Section III: Sub-theme 3: Spirit of Unity: Reconcile your People ! -- Section IV: Sub-theme 4: Holy Spirit: Transform and Sanctify Us !
