€9.00

This volume documents three sets of findings by the CPCE which were accepted by the 2012 and 2018 General Assemblies. The report of the doctrinal conversation on “Ministry, Ordination, Episkope” defines the Protestant position on these issues, which are of vital ecumenical interest. At the same time, it seeks to deepen the church communion of CPCE member churches. This is also the aim of the studies “Training for the ordained ministry in the CPCE” and “Continuing education for the ordained ministry in the CPCE”. They outline a common understanding of good training that the member churches can take as a guideline.

The 2008 Consultation in Vienna confirmed: Baptism is of central significance for the life of the church. Bishops and theologians on the one side from the Orthodox Churches belonging to the Conference of European Churches and on the other from the Lutheran, Reformed and United Churches in the Community of Protestant Churches in Europe introduced each other to their own baptismal tradition. Both traditions agree on the substance of Baptism. The rich diversity of liturgical forms is not church-dividing; it can mean enrichment. Both traditions stand before the task of including the significance of Baptism in Christian instruction in relation to the questions of meaning modern people are asking and of making the message of the Gospel clearer.
