This volume examines the role of the Christian churches at various levels of that process. The Charta Oecumenica , a ground-breaking document from the Conference of Churches in Europe and the Council of European Bishops' Conferences, aimed to set forth the ecumenical response of the European Christian Churches to the living out of faith in today's world. Four theologians, Protestant, Roman Catholic, Orthodox and Lutheran, respond to this document, assessing its strengths and the areas where further development is required. At least implicitly this discussion raises questions about the nature of catholicity and communion, a topic the following four essays address. What is catholicity, what happens when there is too strong an emphasis on the national church, and are there models of gradual church communion to which the churches could assent? Gradual communion sets out to attain full, including sacramental, unity and the final two essays explore how sacramental theology might assist in this process. 410 0$aCurrents of encounter ;$vv. 28. 606 $aEcumenical movement$zEurope 615 0$aEcumenical movement 676 $a280.042 701 $aNoble$b Tim$f1962-$01892889 701 $aNoble$b Ivana$0934550 701 $aBrinkman$b Martien E$g(Martien Everhardus),$f1950-$01892890 701 $aHilberath$b Bernd Jochen$f1948-$01892891 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910956679303321 996 $aCharting churches in a changing Europe$94539868 997 $aUNINA
