Excerpt from Convictions: A Selection From the Responses of the Churches to the Report of the World Conference on Faith and Order, Held at Lausanne in 1927
This book is intended to be used as a working manual by workers in the cause of Christian unity. The selection and arrangement of its contents have been determined by this governing purpose.
The World Conference on Faith and Order, otherwise known as the Lausanne Movement, was born of two convictions: (i) that the goal of efforts after Christian unity must be the full organic union of all Christians in one Church, and (2) that the way to this mus-t be through discussions of their agreements and disagree ments on matters of faith and order conducted by representatives of the different Churches in a spirit of mutual friendliness.

Excerpt from Convictions: A Selection From the Responses of the Churches to the Report of the World Conference on Faith and Order, Held at Lausanne in 1927
For more than two weeks they discussed such subjects as the Nature of the Church, the Church's Common Confession of Faith, the Ministry and the Sacraments. They endeavoured to pierce below the surface of differing formulæ, and to discover the measure of genuine agreement and disagreement in the underlying convictions. After more than two weeks' work, they produced a Report embodying the results they were able to achieve. This Report was sent to all the various Churches which had taken part in the Conference, with a request that they should consider it and express their opinions on it to the Continuation Committee.
It is these "Responses of the Churches" to the Report of the 1927 Conference which are printed in this book - or, rather, such selection of them as provides material for future work. In a preliminary survey of these Responses, published in pamphlet form in 1930, it was truly said that:
"One common note runs through the whole of the material received: it is that of gratitude for the work which the Lausanne Conference was enabled to accomplish; with this there comes a unanimous determination to continue in co-operation with the movement, and to encourage the Continuation Committee in going forward. There is also a general endorsement, often most cordially expressed, of the general method and principle which the movement has set itself to follow, abstaining from the promulgation of any formal scheme of reunion, and concentrating upon the common consideration of those things in which we agree, and those in which we differ."
The Continuation Committee are truly grateful for all such expressions of goodwill, and had it been possible would gladly have published all the Responses in full, as at first they had hoped to do.
