- Notes
- "Meeting in Toronto -- where at the beginning of its existence the World Council of Churches articulated its nature and task -- the Board of Faith and Order sought to identify possible areas of reflection and action for work in the coming years. This was the first meeting of the newly elected Board, and thus it took time to reflect on the work undertaken in the period 1991-1998, on the issues identified by the Fifth World Conference on Faith and Order at Santiago de Compostela (1993) and the Plenary Commission in Moshi (1996). It deliberated on the themes which have emerged in bilateral dialogues, church union schemes, churches, ecumenical instruments, and in the Harare Assembly. The Board's task in Toronto was to draft recommendations for future work for the Programme Committee of the World Council of Churches (WCC) and to further a number of constitutional matters. These minutes convey an account of the discussion and decisions of the Board". -- Preface, p. [1].
