bullet"We are coming to the end of the Christian year and our attention is directed to the fulfilment of God’s purpose for all creation.

bullet "Mission and Unity," Jan vanButselaar, The Ecumenical Review, 2000.
bullet"...these theologians were often asking the same questions with regard to the faith and the order of the church as their colleagues in CWME asked about the mission of the church: questions about justice, liberation, (economic) ethics. Did this similarity not show how closely mission and unity were related for the church, and should they therefore not be studied together? Should there not be a joint world conference on mission and unity?"

bullet"In order to resolve the difficulties presented by Isa 65,20 it is necessary to consider the context."
