| Summary: | This response to the World Council of Churches’ 2013 convergence document, The Church: Towards a Common Vision, from the 2015 North American Academy of Ecumenists conference finds fundamental consensus with much of the document. It seeks further discussion of the relation of the local church to synodality, primacy, and the bonds of communion; calls for deeper experiential language of faith, further discussion on the challenges of ordained ministry, and recognition of the authority of ecumenical agreements; and encourages exploration of differing structures and processes for moral discernment. |
