    It has been 25 years since the publication of Baptism, Eucharist and Ministry — a culminating moment in the ecumenical movement, when members of the World Council of Churches came to recognize baptism as our first and most fundamental point of unity. Now, 25 years have past, and our divisions remain. It is time to engage the question: If we are united in baptism, then what stands in the way of our full communion with one another as Christians? At Epiphany West 2009, we will look afresh at a theology of the Church rooted in baptism, its implications for ecumenical relations and for the leadership and mission of the Church, and some ways we can begin to think differently about the nature of full communion.
