Abstract

Long-standing ecumenical debates on the relationship between �Faith and Order� (what the church is) and �Life and Work� (what the church does) exist. Although these dimensions are inseparable, the emphasis is often placed on either the one or the other, such as either on Christian identity or on social responsibility. Similar tensions may be found in ecumenical discourse on �spirituality and society�, between �ecumenical vision� and �social transformation�, �Christianity and culture�, or �faith and science�.
