The Emerging Ecumenical Complex

Abstract

“The hopeful thing that is happening today is that whenever a denominationalist honestly surveys his own past history and that of other denominations, he discovers that the things that bind them all together are much more central and important than the things that keep them apart. … But the new fact, perhaps the great new fact of our era (which William Temple did not foresee in his), is the fact that henceforth Christian ecumenical concern will be inclusive of Roman Catholicism as well as Protestantism and Eastern Orthodoxy.”
