- "Among the standing commission's tasks were those of reviewing the plenary commission meeting held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in July and August 2004; of reviewing a;; the work done by Faith and Order since the World Council of Churches Assembly in Harare in 1998; of determining which texts and materials were ready to be sent, and to whom, for response, study, review, or other use; of identifying which studies needed further work, and how they should best be continued; of deciding certain matters in relation to staff; of identifying persons to be put forward for membership in the next standing commission, to be constituted immediately after the WCC Assembly in February, 2006; and not least, of discerning what programmatic suggestions and general wisdom this standing commission should pass on to its successor. These minutes record the flow of the meeting; reports, texts from meetings, and other materials presented to the meeting; and the deliberations and decisions of the standing commission on each topic under consideration. For many of the studies and activities, background (or 'cover') texts are included". -- Preface, p. 3.
