The order is Lutheran in its accentuation of sola gratia, while it is Catholic in its position on the sacrament and the church.[2] Under the direction of Abbot Richard Walter the Order was 1946 "placed completely in the services of the Una Sancta idea",[3] working for Lutheran - Roman Catholic ecumenism.
