In 2013 The Faith and Order Commission of the World Council of Churches published The Church - Towards a Common Vision. The text has been developed over two decades, following the responses to Baptism, Eucharist and Ministry (1982) which identified ecclesiology as a key area of divergence among churches. Denominations were invited to submit official responses to The Church by December 2015.

The International Theological Council was tasked by the General to prepare a brief response from The Salvation Army and this was approved for submission by the International Management Council:
