A Study Guide for Discussion Groups

This study guide is an initiative on the way towards the recovering of unity in faith among Christians in the world today. It is intended to help ecumenical and denominational groups enter into the process of exploring the faith of the Church, and of recognizing this faith in their own lives and the lives of other Christian communities. The hope is to move us towards common witness to the faith in liturgy and life, and towards growth together in visible unity.


The process by which this study came about is explained briefly in the preface below. Like other Faith and Order studies, it bears no authority of its own, but is seen to be of use by virtue of its being composed by a widely representative group of people from various Christian traditions.
