Churches Respond to the Church: Towards a Common Vision Volume I

This publication and its companion volume collect the responses received to The Church: Towards a Common Vision (TCTCV) between 2013 and 2020. The responses address the Churchs mission, unity, and its being in the Trinitarian life of God in order to encourage and advance the churches growth in communion with each other in apostolic faith, sacramental life, mission, and ministry for the sake of Gods world. These responses are of great importance, not only because they test the points of convergence and of difference identified in TCTCV but also because they express the interests and concerns of many member churches and ecclesial bodies engaging in the work for Christian unity. They also provide invaluable insight and guidance for future work on ecclesiology.
