What is the church, and what is it for? For all the remarkable advances in understanding and cooperation among the churches, such questions remain at the heart of the ecumenical movement today. And they are central to the work of Faith and Order, as perhaps the most inclusive and diverse church-based theological forum in the world. Building on the churches' and other reactions to earlier ecumenical work -- this Faith and Order study document is a substantial, new text offered for discussion and response. Reflecting what the churches can say together about the nature of the church; identifying honestly the issues which still divide the churches; offering a framework for the churches in their common confession, life and witness -- this book will be an important resource for all who care about the nature and mission of the church today.

As a fellowship of churches approaching its 70th anniversary and embracing 560 million Christians worldwide, the World Council of Churches has transformed itself several times in its perennial quest for a deeper unity among Christians and justice and peace for humanity. In this fresh and enlightening historical sketch, Donald Norwood traces that journey of faith from its roots in pre-World War I Europe through ten successive assemblies. Each, he shows, has visited and engaged a specific regional context while also addressing the evolving concerns of world Christianity in a rapidly changing ecclesial and geopolitical landscape. "The WCC is located wherever you are as member churches. You are the WCC," said its general secretary at its most recent assembly. Norwood's account not only recounts the important issues and events that have stamped this fellowship, but also the deeper animating impulses of the worldwide movement it embodies.

Meeting every seven years, the assembly is the highest governing body of the World Council of Churches, to which all member churches are entitled to send delegates. The assembly receives reports on the work of the WCC during the preceding period, sets broad guidelines for the next seven years and elects from its membership a central committee to govern the Council until its next assembly. This volume includes the texts of the major addresses and of documents adopted by the delegates at the Eighth Assembly which was held in Harare in 1998. Also contained are summaries of discussions in plenary sessions and the revised WCC constitution and rules, as well as lists of assembly participants, the new central committee, and WCC member churches and associated councils. The report begins with an introduction to and analysis of this significant ecumenical event.
