Receptive ecumenism will be explored at a seminar taking place at the Church of Ireland Theological Institute on 9 October 2019. The seminar is being run by the Anglican and Ecumenical Affairs Working Group of the Church of Ireland Commission for Christian Unity and Dialogue.
Walking Together on the Way, the latest report of the Anglican–Roman Catholic International Commission (ARCIC–III), will be the focus of the evening. It looks at receptive ecumenism – the principle that asks first what one’s own tradition can learn from another, rather than being first concerned about what other traditions can learn from one’s own. Formally practised, it is a relatively new approach to ecumenical dialogue.
The seminar will be addressed by two ARCIC members, Bishop Christopher Hill, from the Church of England, and Monsignor Mark Langham, Roman Catholic Chaplain at University of Cambridge.
