- Notes
- "On the basis of proposals, crafted in smaller meetings of Commissioners throughout the year, the Commission discussed how best to pursue dialogue on a number of difficult ecumenical theological issues. After intense discussions, where, on the basis of trying to reach better understanding, methodology and worship, the Commission was able to clarify the goal and processes of the major studies recommended at their meeting in Toronto in 1999 and approved by the WCC Central Committee. To facilitate an understanding of the discussions, the original proposals on each theme are presented here in the section entitled Working Papers, while the discussion in Matanzas and the final proposals on each study appear in the main Minutes of the meeting (e.g. the proposal on Ecumenical hermeneutics, discussed by the Standing Commission, appears on pp. 68ff, while a record of the discussion and the final recommendation appears on pp. 22ff and 50ff.)" -- Preface, p. 1.
