“As the unity of the church is the main goal of our work within Faith and Order, this update offers information about the current work of our study groups on ecclesiology, moral discernment, and theological anthropology and on understanding the churches in and for the world,” writes moderator of the WCC Commission on Faith and Order Rev. Prof. Dr Stephanie Dietrich in her greeting. “I wish you many interesting insights while reading.”
Featured stories include a special look at the Ecumenical Year 2025 which includes the Sixth World Conference on Faith and Order; documents that have had a particular impact upon the work of Faith and Order; interviews on the theological relevance of the work of Faith and Order; and a reflection on how the work of Faith and Order can shape ecumenical work as well as personal lives of faith.
Alongside the Update, a Faith and Order paper “Towards a Common Date for Easter” has been published as an encouragement to churches and Christians to work with one another in their own contexts for a common celebration of Easter. The publication contains four contributions from different church traditions on the search for a way to celebrate Easter on a common date every year.
