The Princeton Proposal
I just finished reading In One Body Through the Cross: The Princeton Proposal for Christian Unity (Eerdmans, 2003), and if you're interested in ecumensism, catholicity, church unity, or whatever you like to call it, you must read this short work of 55-60 pages. Sponsored by the Center for Catholic and Evangelical Theology and edited by Carl Braaten & Robert Jenson, "the document is the work of sixteen theologians and ecumenists, gathered from across the ecumene, who met for three years at Princeton, New Jersey, to consider what may be called the ecclesiology of ecumenism." (Those sixteen do not include Braaten & Jenson; of the sixteen, the only names I recognize are George Lindbeck, Geoffrey Wainwright, Telford Work, and David Yeago.) I give it two thumbs up.
