| Résumé : | Agreement on the ministry is one of the most elusive facets of the search for the visible unity of the church. And among the differences which separate churches in this area, one of the hardest to resolve is how the ministry of oversight or episkopé is exercised. Over the past thirty years, this question has been addressed in a growing number of theological dialogues between and among churches. Recognizing that new forms of exercising oversight were emerging and new questions about episkopé arising, the fifth world conference on Faith and Order (Santiago de Compostela, 1993) urged renewed ecumenical study of this theme. The present volume is the fruit of die resulting process of exchange and discussion undertaken by the WCC's Faith and Order Commission, focusing in two consultations - in Strasbourg, France, in April 1997, and in Cret-Berard, Switzerland, in September 1997. Besides the reports by the three discussion groups which met in each of the two gatherings, the book includes a short historical overview of the ecumenical discussion of ministry and episcopacy, as well as seven papers which describe particular situations and approaches to the exercice of episkopé. |
