Abstract
Summary The Lima (or BEM) report was praised for the way it tried to connect baptism, ministry and especially, the eucharist with ethics. In this connection the unity of the two poles of the ecumenical movement. “Faith and Order” on the one hand, “Life and Work” on the other, is at stake. As a matter of fact, quite a few theologians have, in the recent past, concerned themselves with the link between the eucharist and (social) ethics. The names of many of them appear in the footnotes of this article. In the text the views of two of them are presented and discussed. They are Markus Barth and Louis-Marie Chauvet. Is is shown that, in spite of the different Christian traditions to which they belong (Reformed and Roman Catholic respectively), of the different methods they use and of their rather divergent conceptions of the eucharist, their concern is very much the same.
