- Title
PATHWAYS FOR DIALOGUE IN THE 21ST CENTURY: WHAT WE LEARNED AT ASSISI 2012.
- Authors
Mannion, Gerard
- Abstract
This essay examines the new approaches for "thinking outside the ecumenical box" that were discussed and practiced during the ecumenical and interfaith conference held in Assisi, Italy, in April, 2012. It outlines the approach that the conference as a whole adopted (building upon Roger Haight's ecumenical ecclesiology), whereby participants first explored "What Remains Divisive?" Next, they considered "Where We Dwell in Common," and, finally, in light of a comparison of the two, they explored new ways to "Reenergize the Ecumenical and Interfaith Cause." Among the particular issues discussed are the lessons that ecumenical and interfaith conversations can learn from processes of peace-building and conflict-resolution. Of special significance here is recent discourse concerning "Tracks of Diplomacy" and the possibility of finding a pathway for dialogue that bridges discourse at the official and grassroots levels.
