Book excerpt: This second quinquennial report from the Meissen Commission describes a busy and fruitful period of fellowship and common mission between the Church of England and the Evangelical Church in Germany (EKD) in the years 1997-2001. Parish, diocesan and other links have grown, intense theological dialogue has taken place, and the two Churches have strengthened their work together in ministerial development and a wide range of other areas of ecumenical co-operation and reconciliation. The report brings to the Churches an ambitious set of recommendations for the next five years. These include initiatives in the key mission area of passing on the faith to the next generation, and detailed proposals for the setting up of Local Ecumenical Partnerships under the Meissen Agreement.
