Summary/Abstract: The Commission on Faith and Order is perhaps the most prominent theological board in the world. Integral to the World Council of Churches it proclaims the oneness of the church of Jesus Christ and calls the churches to the goal of visible unity through study programmes dealing with theological questions, especially with the trinitarian concept of the church. For nearly one hundred years it sought to uncover the nature, purpose and mission of the church. The t 1rinitarian nature of the church is a common legacy for all Christian communities and churches, questioned by no one. The article shows how the theological documents by Faith and Order are trying to fi nd the theological description of the trinitarian church, which could help the churches to fi nd the visible unity.
