Publisher's Synopsis
The newly-appointed Standing Commission on Faith and Order gathered From 14 to 21 June, 2006 in Faverges, Haute Savoie, France. Because it was the first meeting of this standing commission, the sense of anticipation was strong and the agenda challenging. These minutes record the flow of the meeting and comprise the presentations made; reports on work done, including background texts for each of the areas of work; and the deliberations and decisions of the standing commission. The process of planning our work for the next period -- with reporting from the programmatic working groups, discussion and revision in light of comments received -- took place in several stages, as explained in the minutes at the appropriate points.
