-
to speak, whenever possible, with one voice proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ, especially on moral and ethical issues.
-
to promote ecumenical relationships and activities among pastors and congregations.

to be God’s servant people, both clergy and laity, giving faithful response to Christ’s prayer, “That all may be one.”
