"The Instrumentum Laboris invites to increase the ecumenical awareness of the faithful (No.42). Let's welcome the call. However, we must clearly aim at the problems which appear in this task, not so much on behalf of the historical reformed churches as much as the "evangelical" groups which are rapidly increasing in many countries of Latin America. It is necessary to consider the causes of this growth, recognizing wherever necessary one's own shortcomings."
