- W320158837 abstract "We can be grateful to the Franciscan Friars and Sisters of the Atonement for recalling to us the vision of Mother Lurana White and Father Paul Watson, holding up the centrality of prayer in the ecumenical movement after the first century of the Week of Prayer. (1) In this essay I will focus on some elements of spiritual ecumenism, including the theme of receptive ecumenism, which seems to me a priority at this moment in the pilgrimage together to full visible unity. Christians pray daily, and in a particularly intense manner in the annual Week of Prayer, for this unity with which the gospel message challenges us. The recent Oberlin celebration of Faith and Order provided an opportunity to review some United States ecumenical history and sketch some challenges. A popular summary of my comments has been published in Ecumenical Trends and a documented version in One in Christ. (2) Three points are important to recall in this context: (1) There are two functions of Faith and Order research in the United States commission: deepening the theological basis for lull, visible unity among the churches, and reaching out to incorporate voices whose churches are not yet committed to that vision. (2) There is a division of labor within the one ecumenical movement: Faith and Order does not need to do social action or interreligious dialogue. There are other specialists in the ecumenical movement with these responsibilities. However, those who specialize in the theological research serving ecclesial reconciliation need to be attentive to and supportive of these other responsibilities, taking account of church-dividing and potentially church-uniting ethical and interreligious themes. (3) The integration of the fifty years' work of Faith and Order, in both bilateral and multilateral forms, needs to be incorporated into texts and catechetical materials to make these results a common heritage. In this treatment of spiritual ecumenism for academic theologians in service of the unity of the church, I would like to note five points: l) mentorship, 2) the discipline of dialogue, 3) the discipline of formation, 4) receptive ecumenism, and 5) prayer, which we know holds pride of place. (3) Like the monastic life, ecumenism is an element of the Christian faith that requires struggle and discipline. (4) The call for the visible unity of the Church is central to the gospel witness and therefore unavoidable for the serious Christian. However, there is much misunderstanding on what might be considered both the theological right and left within the Christian family. Some still misconstrue ecumenism as compromise: both those who are against it, as a dilution of the gospel, and those who are for it, as dissolution of barriers to openness and inclusiveness. A spiritual ecumenism is attentive to the discernment of God's will for the unity of the churches, the discernment of the truth that is required to lay a solid foundation for that unity, and the discernment of the other, their truth-claims, pieties, and integrity, as individuals and as faith communities. (5) Such discernment does not come easily, without prayer, study, dialogue, and planning, The theologian, Joseph Ratzinger, has noted that planning has often replaced a faith in providence in modern culture. This temptation often accompanies ecumenical urgency of both scholars and those engaged actively in ecumenical ministry. One needs to apply all the technical skills of theology, human relations, and planning to the zeal for the unity of the church, but finally the church receives unity as the gift of the Holy Spirit. While cycling through northern Italy a few summers ago, I was struck that in Catholic circles ecumenism could easily become a devotional practice like the other pious movements of the last 2,000 years. There were ecumenical chapels in Venice and Bologna, The Archbishop in Ravenna preached on the link of his city with the Orthodox, rekindled by the recent visit to Patriarch Bartholomew and his Liturgy in Sant' Apolonare in Classe. …" @default.
