To Be the Church: Challenges and Hopes for a New Millennium
Raiser, Konrad
To Be the Church: Challenges and Hopes for a New Millennium - Geneva: World Council of Churches Publications, 1997 - Xvii+134p
includes index and biblioraphy
At the end of a century which saw the rise of a worldwide movement for church unity, many observers would say that ecumenism has fallen on hard times. Among the churches which have historically been the mainstay of the ecumenical movement, many are facing the new millennium with uncertainty about their own identity and mission. This challenging book weaves together concerns and hopes the author has heard expressed by church leaders around the world, insights that have emerged from ecumenical reflection on the church and on the world and biblical images of the nature of the Christian Community.
