Unity of the Churches: An Actual Possibility

For Fries and Rahner unity is no longer an option but a matter of the very credibility and survival of the Christian faith.

Yet they see objective possibilities for the attainment of a far-reaching unity. To this end they propose eight theses and elaborate on them. –Hans Schwarz, author of Method and Context as Problems for Contemporary Theology: Doing Theology in an Alien World
