Abstract

WCC Assemblies have adopted texts offering a vision, or identifying the qualities, of “the unity we seek”.1 In line with these texts the 9th Assembly in Porto Alegre has adopted this text inviting the churches to continue their journey together, as a further step towards full visible unity.The purpose of this Invitation to the Churches is two‐fold: (a) to reflect what the churches, at this point on their ecumenical journey, can say together about some important aspects of the Church; and (b) to invite the churches into a renewed conversation ‐ mutually supportive, yet open and searching ‐ about the quality and degree of their fellowship and communion, and about the issues which still divide them.21
