A New Era For The World Council Of Churches -- New Dimensions In The Mission Of The Church -- Service And The Responsible Society -- New Directions In Faith And Order -- Ecumenical Action In Some Specialized Areas -- Worldwide And Local -- Into A New Decade. Bibliography: P. 137-138.
This work investigates the structural and theological evolution of the ecumenical movement during the pivotal decade between 1961 and 1971. Norman Goodall, a seasoned observer and participant in the World Council of Churches, utilizes his extensive institutional knowledge to document the shifting priorities of global Christian cooperation. He argues that this period marked a transition from foundational organizational efforts toward more specialized, localized, and socially engaged expressions of the ecumenical mission.
