This book argues that despite the tensions existing in all societies between religious faith and legal order, they inevitably interact. In the course of his discussion Berman traces the history of Western law, exposes the fallacies of law theories that fail to take religion into account, examines key theological, prophetic, and educational themes, and looks at the role of religion in the Soviet and post-Soviet state.

Since its founding in 1957, the National Council of Churches Commission on Faith and Order has worked to draw churches out of isolation into discussion on points of agreement and disagreement in faith, order, and worship. In Faith and Order in the USA, William Norgren, a long-time executive director of the Faith and Order Commission, takes a look at its background, history, and major initiatives. He shows how the Commission originally limited in its scope to mainline Protestant, Episcopal, and Orthodox church bodies fostered fruitful dialogue not only between its founding churches but also, over time, with Roman Catholic, Southern Baptist, Evangelical, Pentecostal, Adventist, holiness, and peace churches, contributing to greater friendship, harmony, and partnership among many Christian churches in America.

Our common belonging to Christ through baptism creates a bond that transcends the historic and theological differences among the churches; and the mutual recognition of baptism has emerged as a cornerstone of the modern ecumenical movement. Yet significant differences--some threatening the search for the unity of the Church--remain. This book explores the significance of baptism for the churches, and the ecumenical movement, today. Descriptive articles explain the understanding and practice of baptism within a wide range of Christian churches and confessions; these are complemented by baptismal liturgies from many churches, examples of mutual recognition agreements, and reflections on topics such as the role of baptism in increasingly secularized societies. The volume is enhanced by survey articles by prominent liturgists, reviewing the current opportunities--and challenges--facing the churches in the area of baptism. This book will be an important resource for all who wish to explore the understanding and practice of baptism, and its role in the life of the churches and of the ecumenical movement today.

The aim of Faith and Order, the global movement now nearly a century old, is "to proclaim the oneness of the church of Jesus Christ and to call the churches to the goal of visible unity in one faith and one eucharistic fellowship, expressed in worship and in common life in Christ, in order that the world may believe." The movement encompasses classical church traditions -- Roman Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant -- and, increasingly, traditions not always present in discussions concerning unity -- Pentecostal, Evangelical, and Third World independent churches. A Conference on Faith and Order in North America is projected within the near future. This conference -- to which all church bodies in Canada and the United States are being invited -- will center on the theme "The Church: Its Faith and Its Unity." Traditions with differing visions of unity and different views of Scripture, sacraments, ministry, authority, and experience will encounter each other in deep theological reflection, in prayer and worship, in serious quest for that unity which will lead the church to faithful witness in the present time. Published in anticipation of this groundbreaking event, "Faith and Order: Toward a North American Conference" includes statements regarding the rationale and importance of the projected conference, descriptions of the aims and accomplishments of Faith and Order, and initial reflections concerning the conference theme. Meant to foster awareness of the issues surrounding the Faith and Order movement, this small book is designed for use by laity and clergy in study groups in congregations, seminaries, and a variety of ecumenical contexts.
