Consultation on the Reception of Dialogues between the Orthodox churches and the churches of the Reformation: "Are the fields ripe for harvesting? The reception of the dialogues between our churches"
Helsinki, Finland, 23-26 September 2001
Statement
The question contained in the conference theme "Are the fields ripe for harvesting?" (John 4:35) points to a dynamic process: seeds are sown, they sprout and grow, until they bear fruit which is harvested. The ecumenical movement among European churches, as it has taken place in the CEC for almost half a century, indicates a process of maturation towards church unity. It is also a movement towards an eschatological goal. The evaluation carried out at this consultation made this dynamic appear more clearly.
