The need for an ecumenical body for reformational churches in  Southern Africa has been felt since the early 1990s. The key  matter explored in this article is the question whether the  composition  and modus operandi of the Conventus reflect a  trend in the ecumenical movement in which Calvin’s theological  approach to ecumenism is clearly discernible. To answer the  question, Calvin’s view of church unity and ecumenism is briefly  outlined. Secondly, the “Calvinist” way of composition and  functioning of the Conventus, because of the nature of this  publication which is initiated by the Conventus, are traced and  placed on record.<p> </p> Calvin was a fervent champion of church unity. To him ecume- nism was a “sine qua non”. He was even prepared to overlook  serious disagreements in the debate for the sake of unity in the  reformational  community.
