Resolution 21
The Church and the Modern World - The Church and the Modern State
Recognising that in the quest for a just social order the differences between those who value tradition and those who feel most urgently the need for change and reform may provoke enmity, the Conference believes that, however strong these tensions are, the fellowship of the Christian community should contain them, and that in times of controversy Church members can make this significant contribution of unity in Christ to the life of neighbourhood or nation.
