Aims

In order to meet its charitable purposes the charity has the following aims.

Oneness - to become a fuller realisation of the unity that Christ wills, in accordance with the prayer “that they may all be one. As you, Father, are in me, and I am in you, may they also be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me” (John 17.21), and to express the degree of unity that is already theirs by Christ’s gift, their commitment to one another and their resolve to continue as pilgrims together;

Growth of Understanding and Common Life - to grow into a greater unity of mind and heart through experience of the others’ living tradition of spirituality and worship, to co-operate through prayer, theological reflection and consultation, at local and national levels, in all that concerns their common life, especially the nature, purpose and unity of the Church, and to work through joint study and action towards a Christian evaluation on moral and social issues; and

Unified Action - to co-operate as far as possible in proclaiming the Gospel so as to evoke a personal commitment to Christ and His Church, obeying the Gospel in practical response to the life and needs of the community, the nation and the world, and witnessing to Christian moral and social values in a critical phase of human history, and bringing Christian perspectives on these matters into dialogue with secular authorities.
