As a record of hope and a call to deeper communion, the publication has been printed by Libreria Editrice Vaticana as part of an ecumenical series. The volume draws together the results of 11 reports produced by the Methodist-Roman Catholic International Commission since their formal dialogue began back in 1967. These reports, named after the cities in which they were presented to the World Methodist Conference, explore topics such as baptism, holiness, Scripture and tradition, Eucharist, nature and mission of the church, and the call to visible communion.
The new volume was compiled by the joint commission with the support of the Vatican’s Dicastery for Promoting Christian Unity and the Methodist Ecumenical Office Rome.
During the year in which Christians mark the 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea, the publication is designed as a gift to all the churches, as they affirm their faith in the Triune God and reflect on the next stages of the quest for Christian unity.
In recommitting to the dialogue and reaffirming a confidence in God’s providential leading, the new publication provides a summary of the fruits of the past 60 years, while offering important signs of hope for the future of the ecumenical journey.
