Ecumenical Jubilee

Abstract

"Jubilee retrospect and millennium prospect, church and world, north and south, world council and ecumenical movement, death by Aids and life in a rapidly growing church, all met in Harare, Zimbabwe last December. There some 5,000 people, a kaleidoscope of race and culture, colour and confession, gathered in a mixture of celebration of what had been achieved and an agonizing longing for still more progress to be made in overcoming the faulty witness of a divided church. Whilst the latter proceeds from the former, it sometimes obscures it."
