This unit explores the history of the ecumenical movement shaping twentieth-century Christianity. You will find yourself exploring some of the movement's key moments and achievements, including the formation of the Uniting Church in Australia. The unit will also invite you to consider a number of topics that continue to be significant in the challenges of ecumenical convergence, such as: what is the authority of T/tradition/s? How to imagine the 'marks' of the church (e.g. apostolicity, catholicity)? What issues--e.g. gender, inculturation, interfaith engagement--prove to be ongoing points of tension?
