A pamphlet by John Howard Yoder published in 1958 by the Mennonite Publishing House as No. 3 of the Focal Pamphlet series; a version also appeared in the Gospel Herald in January 1957. It considers how Anabaptists and Mennonites should relate to the modern ecumenical movement, and what faithfulness to the church requires in that conversation. Ecumenical conversation remained one of Yoder's lifelong concerns, gathered later in The Royal Priesthood: Essays Ecclesiological and Ecumenical (1994).
