Description
Ecumenism provides an introduction to the history of ecumenism, with particular reference to the ecumenical movement in the twentieth century. The module also examines the cultural context, structure, spirituality and understanding of the Eucharist in the Anglican, Orthodox, and Methodist traditions. The contribution of Vatican II is carefully considered drawing on the following: Leading Histories of the Council, the Cambridge Companion to Vatican II, and the Oxford Handbook of Ecumenical Studies. The respective contributions of the Ressourcement movement and Receptive Ecumenism are also closely studied. The module has a strong element of practice with ecumenical visits to Dublin's Romanian Orthodox Church and the Anglican Cathedral of Christ Church
