Reformed-Roman Catholic dialogue: Baptism and the Lord's Supper

Baptism and the Lord's Supper are two indispensable practices of Christian worship. The following two documents represent recent work in Reformed-Roman Catholic dialogue and help Christians to think about the following questions:

  • How can we most faithfully and fruitfully "picture" what the sacraments are about?
  • How can we more faithfully understand the role (and potential role) of the sacraments in faith formation for people of all ages?
  • How should we respond to the way that the sacraments have caused not union, but division in the body of Christ?
