초록
After recalling the historic appeal, at the 1910 Edinburgh World Missionary Conference, for a united Christian Church in China, this essay reflects upon challenges to Christian unity. In world Christianity today, doctrine, denominationalism and nationalism no longer exercise the same roles as in the past in precipitating or in overcoming divisions within Christianity. Consideration of these developments suggests the importance of renewal of ministry for promoting communion in the Church of Christ. Ministry is ordered to communion by proclaiming the Word of God, building up the body of Christ, and serving the faith community.
