When Other Christians Become Catholic

the long version

"In When Other Christians Become Catholic, Paul Turner seeks to clarify and confirm the status of baptized persons. He explores the rites of reception in the early church and the Second Vatican Council's call for ecumenical dialogue. In addition, he looks to the reception rites of other Christian communities to gain added perspective. Turner's historical and ecumenically sensitive analysis will help members of catechumenate teams think more carefully about the baptismal unity of all Christians. Drawing on that foundation of unity, they will learn steps to avoid and steps to take so that communion becomes a reality."--BOOK JACKET.
