- W289808503 abstract "Attending the Transformation Summer School of ECONI (Evangelical Contribution on Northern Ireland) at Antrim in July 2002, I learned a few things about Irish Protestantism that relate to our chief American export: the idea of cultural pluralism. The time in Northern Ireland, my fourth visit in recent years, was a to the future moment. That is because the centuries-old scenario of theological and political division between Catholics and Protestants there has as much to say about our future, the world's future, as it does about their past. Religious conflicts of long standing are the new reality, not just the old, in human existence on the planet. Israel/Palestine tells us this. September 11 says the same. This review article listens to several voices coming out of Ireland-those of John Bruton, Joseph Liechty, and Cecelia Clegg-that I have found to be fruitful in engaging the American idea of cultural pluralism. It then looks at an important but too little known Israeli Jewish author, David Flusser, who has written on the relation of Christianity to Judaism. Next in the order comes Kenneth Cragg, the Anglican bishop who is our chief expert on Islam. Finally, I try to apply learnings from these three authors to the American Episcopal Church ([P]ECUSA). My application comes through the lens of Paul's letter to the Romans, chapter four, in terms of the change agent known as imputation. In 1999 ECONI, which is a tank of Bible Protestants critical of political Protestantism in Ulster, published a little book in Belfast entitled The Great White Tent. This book, edited by Alwyn Thompson, is a collection of short impressions of Protestants written by Roman Catholics. What do Catholics in Ireland really think of Protestants? The second entry in The Gret White Tent, after a smooth equivocating first entry by Gerry Adams, is brilliant. This entry is so fine that I have not gotten past it, in thinking about pluralism, since I first read it while conducting a clergy quiet day near Belfast in February 2002. It is by John Bruton, who was taoiseach or president of the Republic of Ireland from 1994 to 1997. Bruton, a Catholic, writes the following concerning Irish evangelical Protestants: I would like to reflect briefly on what the world owes to Irish evangelicals. When you celebrate 300 years of history your celebrations must be of the religious content of your tradition which is, of course, the most important part of it. But it is important that you should also reflect on the political gift that Irish evangelical churches have given to the world. The democratic character of your churches, right back to their foundations, are a gift to the world. Evangelical churches have been, in many senses, schools of democracy, accountability and equality before the law (p. 16). Bruton imputes some sublime qualities to Irish Protestant evangelicals. If you are one, or identify with them, as this reviewer does, your chest swells with pride. At the same time, I have wept with gratitude that a despised minority should be so spoken of by a major figure on the side. I count myself ready to follow the former taoiseach off any bridge! From his affirmation of the other community, the Protestant community, Bruton takes a powerful step towards breaking down the dividing wall of hostility (Ephesians 2:14).1 Interestingly and fruitfully, the same author embodied his affirmation of the other, so counter-intuitively stated in The Great White Tent, when he spoke out in connection with the Drumcree crisis of June/July 1998. This crisis concerned the parade of the Portadown lodges of the (Protestant) Orange Order, who were denied the right to march along their traditional route after their annual Remembrance Day service at the Church of the Ascension (Church of Ireland), Drumcree. The Loyal Orders were denied this right by the Parades Commission of Northern Ireland, an official government board, because the march was considered provocative or offensive by the residents' association of the Garvaghy Road. …" @default.
