Gemeinsam Christsein

To be Christians together in reconciled diversity - this is what churches, denominations, cultures, and faith communities of Christianity worldwide strive for. But how can ecumenism as a church-political and theological project of universal Christianity in the twenty-first century be further developed and reinterpreted?
The contributions in this volume aim to give impulses to the ecumenical movement for its renewal and continuation. They develop new theological interpretations of the practice of ecumenical dialogue, the goal of church unity and the relationship between denominations and ecumenism. In terms of societal practice, they explore the relationship of ecumenism to cosmopolitanism and multiculturalism. In conversation with the theology of religions, comparative theology, post-colonialism and the dialogue of religions, they take a look at what ecumenism can be in a globalized world.
