Receptive Ecumenism asks not what other churches can learn from us, but 'what can we learn and receive with integrity from our ecclesial others?' Since the publication of Receptive Ecumenism and the Call to Catholic Learning: Exploring a Way for Contemporary Ecumenism (OUP, 2008), this fresh ecumenical strategy has been adopted, critiqued, and developed in different Christian traditions, and in local, national, and international settings, including the most recent bilateral dialogue of the Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission (ARCIC III). The thirty-eight chapters in this new volume, by academics, church leaders, and ecumenical practitioners who have adopted and adapted Receptive Ecumenism in various ecclesial and cultural contexts, show how Receptive Ecumenism has grown and matured. Part One demonstrates how Receptive Ecumenism itself is capable of being received with integrity into very different ecclesiologies and ecclesial traditions. In Part Two, this approach to transformative ecumenical learning is applied to some recurrent ecclesial problems, such as the understanding and practice of ministry, revealing new insights and practical opportunities. Part Three examines the potential and challenges for Receptive Ecumenism in different international settings. Part Four draws on scripture, hermeneutics, and pneumatology to offer critical reflection on how Receptive Ecumenism itself implements transformative ecclesial learning. Addressing the 70th Anniversary of the World Council of Churches, Archbishop Justin Welby, said that 'One of the most important of recent ecumenical developments has been the concept of "Receptive Ecumenism"'. This volume provides an indispensable point of reference for understanding and applying that concept in the life of the Christian churches today.

Receptive Ecumenism asks not what other churches can learn from us, but 'what can we learn and receive with integrity from our ecclesial others?'. This demands more than viewing gifts from another tradition as objects of reception. Receiving with integrity also involves a transformation of the church as subject in the act of reception. It represents the church in a mode of 'ecclesial learning'. Since the publication of Receptive Ecumenism and the Call to Catholic Learning: Exploring a Way for Contemporary Ecumenism (2008), this fresh ecumenical strategy has been adopted, critiqued, and developed in different Christian traditions, and in local, national, and international settings, including the most recent bilateral dialogue of the Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission (ARCIC III). This volume shows how Receptive Ecumenism is being received 'with dynamic integrity' in Christian communities representing different ecclesial traditions and geographies. The potential for such ecumenical ecclesial learning is illustrated in respect of recurrent ecclesial problems, such as the understanding and practice of ministry. Throughout the book, and particularly in the final part, the contributors draw on Scripture, hermeneutics, and pneumatology to offer a critical reflection on how Receptive Ecumenism itself implements ecclesial learning. These thirty-eight essays by academics, church leaders, and ecumenical practitioners show how Receptive Ecumenism has matured since its launch not only in terms of ecclesial application and geographical breadth, but also in critical depth.

This volume proposes a fresh strategy for ecumenical engagement - 'Receptive Ecumenism' - that is fitted to the challenges of the contemporary context and has already been internationally recognised as making a distinctive and important new contribution to ecumenical thought and practice. Beyond this, the volume tests and illustrates this proposal by examining what Roman Catholicism in particular might fruitfully learn from its ecumenical others. Challenging the tendency for ecumenical studies to ask, whether explicitly or implicitly, 'What do our others need to learn from us?', this volume presents a radical challenge to see ecumenism move forward into action by highlighting the opposite question 'What can we learn with integrity from our others?' This approach is not simply ecumenism as shared mission, or ecumenism as problem-solving and incremental agreement but ecumenism as a vital long-term programme of individual, communal and structural conversion driven, like the Gospel that inspires it, by the promise of conversion into greater life and flourishing. The aim is for the Christian traditions to become more, not less, than they currently are by learning from, or receiving of, each other's gifts. The 32 original essays that have been written for this unique volume explore these issues from a wide variety of denominational and disciplinary perspectives, drawing together ecclesiologists, professional ecumenists, sociologists, psychologists, and organizational experts.

What if churches focused less on wanting other Christian traditions to become more like theirs, and more on exploring what they might learn from them? Might this not only help churches to deepen faith, mission, and service, but also revitalize the ecumenical landscape with new possibilities? This is the provocative and inspiring vision presented by Receptive Ecumenism, a movement which has crossed denominations and continents, engaging church leaders, ecumenists, scholars, and Christians in their everyday lives. Spirit Flowing Like Water presents the latest conversations in this field. It not only engages leading scholars and practitioners of Receptive Ecumenism between churches but also explores the possibility of learning from difference within a church community—“Internal Receptive Ecumenism”—and adapting the approach to a wider ecumenism beyond the visible church. Church leaders, ecumenists, and theologians from five continents have contributed chapters on transforming ecumenism, practicing mission in context, and broadening the horizon. They write not only for those already engaged in ecumenical work but with an invitation to all communities, leaders, and individuals to take a fresh look at what walking together in Christ means in our polarized world.

Receptive Ecumenism is a ground-breaking new ecumenical approach, widely regarded as having the potential to revitalise the Ecumenical Movement. But what is Receptive Ecumenism? Why is it important? In Receptive Ecumenism and the Renewal of the Ecumenical Movement, Antonia Pizzey offers a comprehensive, systematic analysis of Receptive Ecumenism. While still emerging, Receptive Ecumenism is highly promising because it prioritises the need for ecclesial conversion. Pizzey explores the scope and complexity of Receptive Ecumenism, providing much-needed clarity on its aim, key developmental influences and distinctiveness, as well as its virtuous character and relationship with Spiritual Ecumenism. The major implementations of Receptive Ecumenism to date are investigated, along with its significance for the future of ecumenism, especially regarding its engagement with contemporary challenges.

Lebendige Tradition Kontinuität und Wandel als Herausforderungen für Kirchen und Theologien Tagungsbericht der 21. Wissenschaftlichen Konsultation der Societas Oecumenica Living Tradition Continuity and Change as Challenges to Churches and Theologies Proceedings of the 21st Academic Consultation of the Societas Oecumenica Living tradition is the focal point of this volume, exploring ›theologies of tradition,‹ ›captivities of tradition,‹ ›changing traditions,‹ and ›dynamics of Tradition.‹ It takes on the notion of ›living tradition‹ from four distinct angles. How do various churches and denominations handle continuity while embracing different theologies of tradition? How do individuals address traditionalism and fundamentalism when faced with the captivities of tradition? In what ways can identity be preserved through discontinuities when dealing with changing traditions? The volume encompasses contributions from 31 scholars, presented during the 21st academic consultation of Societas Oecumenica (the European Society for Ecumenical Research). [Lebendige Tradition. Kontinuität und Wandel als Herausforderungen für Kirchen und Theologien] Die lebendige Tradition steht im Mittelpunkt dieses Bandes und untersucht ›Theologien der Tradition‹, ›Gefangene der Tradition‹, ›sich verändernde Traditionen‹ und ›Dynamiken der Tradition‹. Der Begriff der ›lebendigen Tradition‹ wird aus vier verschiedenen Blickwinkeln betrachtet. Wie gehen verschiedene Kirchen und Konfessionen mit Kontinuität um und berücksichtigen gleichzeitig unterschiedliche Theologien der Tradition? Wie gehen Einzelpersonen mit Traditionalismus und Fundamentalismus um, wenn sie mit den Fesseln der Tradition konfrontiert werden? Auf welche Weise kann Identität durch Diskontinuitäten im Umgang mit sich verändernden Traditionen bewahrt werden? Der Band umfasst Beiträge von 31 Wissenschaftlern, die während der 21. akademischen Konsultation der Societas Oecumenica (der Europäischen Gesellschaft für ökumenische Forschung) vorgestellt wurden.

This is the first comprehensive book on Anglican and Pentecostal ecumenical relations. It introduces both movements with a particular focus on their approaches to ecumenism, before exploring sacraments, ministry, ecclesiology, pneumatology, and mission with respect to both traditions. As well as providing more theological and historical discussion, the book also offers personal accounts of local, national, and international ecumenical engagement by both Anglicans and Pentecostals. It is written predominantly—although not exclusively—from a British perspective. Even so, as the first major published dialogue between these two global Christian traditions, the book will be of value to all interested in Anglicanism, Pentecostalism, and ecumenism.

What do we need to learn and receive from the other to help us address challenges or wounds in our own tradition? That is the key question asked in what has come to be known as ‘receptive ecumenism’. And nowhere is this question more pressing and pertinent than in women’s experiences within the church. Based on qualitative research from five focus groups, 'For the Good of the Church' expose the difficulties women face when they work in a church – sexism, unfulfilled vocation, and abuse of power and privilege, as well as the wide range of gifts and skills which women bring in light of these. The second part of the book continues to draw on the particular wounds and gifts, which arise in the focus groups. Specific case studies are used to identify gifts of theology, practice, experience, vocation and power. Against negative prognoses of an ‘ecumenical winter’, Gabrielle Thomas reveals how radically different theological and ecclesiological perspectives can be a space for learning and receiving gifts for the well-being of the whole Church.

The work of uniting churches is slow, challenging, and multifaceted; and it changes in each generation and location. In this book, Josiah Baker studies the efforts of believers towards reconciliation as something significant for how we understand the church. He offers a theology for laborers, people for whom unity is not only an idea but a calling and sure hope. A Visible Unity is a study in systematic theology on the relation of ecumenical methodology to ecclesiological convergence, how acting together results in the churches being together. Ecumenical work informs ecclesiology because it involves the actions of Christians together in accordance with their shared views of the church. Whenever this work changes, the partnering churches change their relations and further resolve their divisions. Baker studies ecclesiology by telling stories about a person—the Pentecostal ecumenist Cecil Robeck—for Robeck’s decades of leadership in American and global ecumenical settings. By narrating his activities and analyzing his thought, the book offers a window into the interrelation of different portions of the ecumenical movement and how the movement has changed over the years. Baker compiles archival materials and personal interviews to tell stories about ecumenism never before published.

"Catholics traditionally have relied on the definition of justice supplied by Thomas Aquinas. Yet developments in human history complicate this medieval conception of justice. Take but two examples. We now live in democracies, where citizens elect their leaders and so bear the responsibilities of distributive justice once assigned only to kings and princes. And the growing interest in restorative justice means that one-on-one injustices require the involvement of a larger community for long-term healing. Add other developments-secularism, the growth of Christianity in the Global South, economic change, the impact of social scientific insights, and a host of widely acknowledged obligations related to the environment, social media, privacy, religious freedom, gender, racism, harassment, transparency, etc. Together, they require new ways of thinking about justice in Catholic social thought. This book draws on a number of traditions, from Africa, Hindu, and Buddhist understandings of justice to Latin American theological and Scriptural readings of justice to develop a new concept for our times. The result is a definition of justice as a lived experience of communal life characterized by the freedom and equal dignity of all people and by equitable relationships of exchange and access to the common goods of the community"--
