Isi artikel

This article is a primer for understanding the history of the ecumenical movement by focusing first on one of its greatest institutional successes, the Church of South India in1947, and then assessing the difficult relationship between ecumenism and mission. In the second half the article takes a broader view of ecumenical history, asking whether or not Christian ecumenism is still, in the word of Arcbishop of Canterbury William Temple, " the great new fact of our era". Focusing on various achievements and failings in the 20th century, the article asks throughout whether or not Christian ecumenism has already reached is height. The conclusion of the essay argues that in order to move forward in this time of transition, the Word Council of Curches must take a careful look back at its successes, failures and very reasons for existence.
