BEM at 25
Baptism, Eucharist and Ministry (BEM) remains a seminal text for the churches and the ecumenical movement. Since its publication in 1982, this World Council of Churches Faith and Order convergence document has been translated into more than 40 languages, has remained an ecumenical best-seller, and has been the basis of many official agreements between churches. BEM at 25: Critical Insights into a Continuing Legacy - a vibrant collection of essays from a wide range of confessional and regional perspectives - explores the continuing legacy of BEM. Articles trace the influence of BEM - and the challenge it continues to pose today - in areas such as worship, ecclesiology, the churches' social witness, and local parish life. Critical questions are also raised. How far have the churches acted upon the agreements signaled in BEM? Was there full participation in the BEM process in all regions of the world? What do the churches' experiences with BEM tell us about the next stage of the ecumenical journey? BEM at 25 is an essential resource for all those interested in the history - and future - of the ecumenical movement.
The Orthodox Churches in a Pluralistic World
"Churches seek to supply their people with pastoral support and theological insight, even when the community's self-understanding is evolving in the midst of a pluralistic environment. This anthology explores various ways in which churches of the Orthodox tradition are meeting the challenges of a post-modern world. The authors' presentations identify contemporary opportunities for Christian witness, promoting ministries of healing and renewal within a diverse society. Interesting topics, such as, cultural identity and ethnic conflict, globalization and human rights, violence, forgiveness and reconciliation, world mission and spirituality, are discussed."
Journey for Justice
Celebrating 60 years of critique, cooperation, and community, Journey for Justice focuses on pivotal leaders and key challenges in women's participation in the World Council of Churches. ** "Among the most important historic accomplishments of the ecumenical movement is the lifting up of the presence, perspectives, gifts, and leadership of women in the Christian churches. Reading their story illumines the decades-long search for gender justice and peace...." -- Olav Fykse Tveit, General Secretary, World Council of Churches ** "While it is not adequately recorded in history, it is important to acknowledge the key role women have played in the shaping of the ecumenical movement...." -- Aruna Gnanadason, former Program Executive, Women in Church and Society, World Council of Churches [Subject: Religious Studies, Christianity, Women's Studies, Gender Studies]

The Church and Other Faiths
This book investigates the coming-to-be, principal features and theological outcomes of interreligious dialogue as an activity of the World Council of Churches (WCC) and the Roman Catholic Church (Vatican). The embrace of dialogical engagement represents a dramatic departure from almost two millennia of hostile Christian regard toward other faiths. The development of this phenomenon is outlined and explored, with research focussed on the work of relevant offices of the WCC and the Vatican during the final four decades of the 20th century. A principal task has been to construct a comparative narrative that provides the basis for a close analysis and assessment of policy and practice, together...
