Baptism, Eucharist and Ministry – the 'Lima' text
This famous text, adopted by the World Council of Churches' Faith and Order Commission at its plenary meeting in Lima, Peru in 1982, explores the growing agreement – and remaining differences – in fundamental areas of the churches' faith and life.
The most widely-distributed and studied ecumenical document, BEM has been a basis for many 'mutual recognition' agreements among churches and remains an important reference today.
