A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Since its founding in 1957, the National Council of Churches Commission on Faith and Order has worked to draw churches out of isolation into discussion on points of agreement and disagreement in faith, order, and worship. In Faith and Order in the USA, William Norgren, a long-time executive director of the Faith and Order Commission, takes a look at its background, history, and major initiatives. He shows how the Commission originally limited in its scope to mainline Protestant, Episcopal, and Orthodox church bodies fostered fruitful dialogue not only between its founding churches but also, over time, with Roman Catholic, Southern Baptist, Evangelical, Pentecostal, Adventist, holiness, and peace churches, contributing to greater friendship, harmony, and partnership among many Christian churches in America.

Revue de presse

William Norgren is a clear and insightful guide through the story of the Faith and Order movement in the USA, with its many and wide-ranging studies, its ever more inclusive membership, and its commitment to get the results known locally. . . . We owe Norgren a debt of gratitude for keeping the memory of Faith and Order alive and for helping us to make sense of the present and find direction for the future. --Dame Mary Tanner, President, World Council of Churches
