The Baptist World Alliance has reemphasised its commission to engage in conversations with other Christian bodies, as it prepares to employ dialogue with the Roman Catholic Church later this year.
Being one of the eight major objectives within the BWA constitution, the Commission for Doctrine and Inter-Church Cooperation has continued to fulfil the objective over the past thirty years of being in constant dialogue with Christians from other denominations and organisations.
The BWA constitution states: “Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the objectives of the Alliance shall be...to promote understanding and cooperation among Baptist bodies and with other Christian groups, in keeping with our unity in Christ.”
Most recently the BWA has been in contact with the Anglican Consultative Council, with previous conversations held with the Lutheran World Federation, the World Alliance of Reformed Churches and the World Mennonite Conference.
