STATEMENTS ON UNITY
“Our ecumenical policy is to press toward
the
visible unity of the whole Christian
fellowship in
the
faith and truth of
Jesus Christ, developing
and
sharing
in its various
dialogues and consultations
in
such a way that the goal be neither obscured
nor
compromised and that each separate
activity be a step toward the fullness of
unity for
which
our Savior prayed.”
1967 General Convention
The Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh
___________________________________________
“The United Methodist Church believes that
the
Lord of the Church is calling Christians
everywhere to strive toward unity, and
therefore it will seek and work for unity
at all
levels of the church life.”
Book of Discipline 1968
United Methodist Church
Western Pennsylvania Conference
___________________________________________
“We should recognize that the quest for
Christian unity is a response to the
Gospel of
Christ. Our fundamental concern
must be that the followers of Christ
are
already one.
We have the obligation
to
discover in what
sense we are one,
and to manifest this oneness
more fully.”
American Baptist Policy Statement on
Christian Unity
July 1967, reaffirmed June 1978
___________________________________________
“The unity of the church, as it is proclaimed
in the
Scriptures, is a gift and goal of God
in Christ Jesus.
Ecumenism is the joyous
experience
of
the unity of Christ’s
people
and
the
serious
task of expressing that unity
visibly
and structurally
to advance the
proclamation
of
the Gospel for the blessing
of humankind.”
Evangelical Lutheran Church in America
Declaration of Ecumenical Commitment
___________________________________________
“The Sacred Council exhorts all the Catholic
faithful to
recognize the signs of the times
and
to take an active and
intelligent part in
the work of ecumenism. Before the
whole
world,
let all Christians confess their faith
in the
triune God, one and three in the
incarnate
Son of God,
our Redeemer
and Lord.
Cooperation among Christians
vividly expresses the relationship
which in fact already
unites them,
and it sets in clearer relief the features
of
Christ the Servant.”
Second Vatican Council Decree
on Ecumenism
