According to the National Council of Churches, the papers "draw on the common heritage which Christians and their churches share, the richness of which is found in scripture and tradition."
Study guides are being developed to accompany each of these papers. The first of these papers and its accompanying study guide, Christian Understanding of Unity in an Age of Radical Diversity, has been posted on the General Secretary's web page. Brethren pastor and former District Executive Minister Mark Flory-Steury wrote the study guide, and will also write three of the others. Leadership for a second study guide, on War in an Age of Terror[ism], was given by Jordan Blevins, Advocacy Officer and Ecumenical Peace Coordinator for the Church of the Brethren and the National Council of Churches.
Other titles to be made available in the coming months are:
- "Christian Understanding of Mission in an Age of Interfaith Relations"
- "Christian Understanding of Creation in an Age of Environmental Crisis"
- "Christian Understanding of the Economy in an Age of Growing Inequality"
