Beschreibung
This book offers fresh insights into the contemporary state of Ecumenism. Following the election of Pope Francis, there has been a significant thaw in ecumenical relations, and there are grounds for thinking that this will continue into the future. The twelve chapters, written both by experienced ecumenical theologians as well as younger scholars, that have been gathered together in this collection, offer one of the first detailed assessments of the impact of Francis’ papacy on ecumenical dialogue. Drawing on ecumenical methodology, as well as many practical examples and illustrations, the authors discuss the developments in culture and missiology as these affect the practice of ecumenism, particular in response to theologies of hope as well as inter-religious dialogue and pluralism. What emerges is a clear sense of hope for the future in a rapidly changing world and even a sense of optimism that real ecumenical progress might be made.

“These are uncertain times for ecumenism. The real achievements of joint declarations and convergence texts are overshadowed by limited receptivity to these documents, entrenched resistance, and waning interest. Some see few reasons for optimism and more for concern. These essays stake out grounds for hope in an age of diminished ecumenical expectations, and in the process discover shards of real wisdom, sometimes in unexpected places.” (Bradford E. Hinze, Fordham University, USA)
