- Notes
- "[T]he Faith and Order Board conducted its theological reflection in the milieu of prayer and thanksgiving, as it focused on the nature and the purpose of the Church, the baptismal order and the common recognition of baptism, ecumenical hermeneutics, the common sharing of the apostolic faith, and on ethical issues which inhibit Christian witness and koinonia. In all these areas, the Board sought to draw on the reflections and suggestions of the Faith and Order Commission reports and discussions from Moshi in 1996, and to develop further the ongoing studies so that the churches might be drawn to a fuller expression of koinonia". -- Preface.
