II. Worship and Baptism
- So We Believe, So We Pray: Towards Koinonia in Worship (The Ditchingham Letter and Report)
- The "Letter to the Churches" and report from the first consultation (held at Ditchingham, England) in Faith and Order's current study programme on worship in relation to Christian unity. Drawing on the resources of the liturgical renewal movement, and produced together with leading liturgists, this text focuses on the common structure of Christian worship, on issues of inculturation in worship, and on how, through worship, churches are already expressing their unity in Christ.
- Becoming a Christian: The Ecumenical Implications of Our Common Baptism
- This is the report from the second consultation in Faith and Order's study programme on worship in relation to Christian unity. Mindful of the importance of the churches’ "mutual recognition of baptism" as a basis of the ecumenical movement, the text explores the meaning and structure of the baptismal service, issues raised by the inculturation of baptism, and how baptism determines the nature and practice of Christian ethics.
- One Baptism: Towards Mutual Recognition [a text-in-progress]
- This text-in-progress explores the churches’ agreement – and continuing differences – on the meaning and practice of baptism. Taking up a suggestion from Baptism, Eucharist and Ministry the text sets the liturgical moment of baptism within a process of life-long growth into Christ, and seeks to encourage wider mutual recognition of baptism among the churches. Churches, study groups and individuals are invited to offer comments and reactions to the text through October, 2006.
- Celebrations of the Eucharist in Ecumenical Contexts - A Proposal
- In this unofficial text a number of liturgists, theologians and pastors propose, on their own initiative and responsibility, guidelines for those engaged in planning eucharistic worship to be held in an ecumenical context. The text was produced by a working group at a consultation held by Faith and Order and the Ecumenical Institute, Bossey to reflect on the churches’ 10 years experience in using the unofficial "Lima Liturgy".
