Can the churches today confess a common faith which the World Council of Churches has set as the first condition for the unity of the Church? This study analyses the so-called Apostolic Faith project, perhaps the most essential research project of the WCC. The decision to initiate the project was taken at the Faith and Order World Conference held in Bangalore in 1978. The final document was published in the year 1991 with the title Confessing the One Faith. However, it is neither a new ecumenical creed nor a so-called convergence document bringing the churches doctrinally closer to each other. Instead, it is a kind of a theological instrument aiding the churches' effort to recognise apostolic faith, first in their own church and then in other churches also.
