The Commission on Faith and Order of the World Council of Churches issued a call to the churches in 1982 to explore the meaning of the "apostolic faith" as a means to express visible unity. This second volume to appear in the Faith and Order series on the subject is part of the response of the North American member churches to the call of the World Council of Churches.

The NCC's Commission on Faith and Order appointed two Apostolic Faith Study Groups, one to focus on The American Context and the other on Dimensions of the Apostolic Faith.

This volume presents the papers that resulted from the work of the study groups, and includes discussion of the characteristics of the American context, the meaning of "apostolic faith" in WCC documents, reflections of apostolicity in the North American context, and explorations of the apostolic faith in a variety of diverse American Christian traditions.

Contributors to this volume are Thaddeus D. Horgan, Thomas Hoyt, Jr., James Jorgenson, George Vandervelde, Donald W. Dayton, Dean Freiday, and Clyde Steckel.
