André BirméléThe Ecumenical Movement has recently produced a number of declarations which have been officially approved by the Churches. All those texts evince the fundamental acceptance that a conviction which we all share may rightly be expressed in various particular ways. The A. analyses this new outlook from a historic and theological point of view. After having explained how this «differentiated consensus» works, he sketches a number of possible applications, while mentioning the reservations it may elicit.
