Independent intensities, 0–5 — what the work is made of, not how good it is.

A collection of papers on the unity of the Church, published in Paris by Éditions du Seuil in 1965 and in English by Sheed & Ward in New York in 1966 (180 pages). Written in the years of the Second Vatican Council and of Meyendorff's early work in the ecumenical movement, the papers take up the problems the Orthodox Church faces in seeking unity of faith with Roman Catholics and Protestants, and what catholicity means for the Church. It looks ahead to his later Catholicity and the Church (1983).
