With an expressed awareness of inter-religious tensions and the difference in religious convictions, the document, "Christian Witness in a Multi-Religious World: Recommendations for Conduct" is meant as a tool for churches, ecumenical organizations and mission agencies rather than a policy or theological statement.

Conscientes de las tensiones entre personas y comunidades de diferentes convicciones religiosas, y de la diversidad de interpretaciones del testimonio cristiano, el Pontificio Consejo para el Diálogo Interreligioso (PCDI), el Consejo Mundial de Iglesias (CMI) y, a invitación del CMI, la Alianza Evangélica Mundial (AEM), se reunieron varias veces durante un período de cinco años para reflexionar y elaborar el presente documento en el que se formulan recomendaciones sobre la forma de llevar a la práctica el testimonio cristiano en el mundo. Este documento no pretende ser una declaración teológica sobre misión sino plantear los problemas prácticos asociados al testimonio cristiano en un mundo plurirreligioso.
