Ecumenism and Tradition: Hermeneutics of Theological and Non-theological Factors

Publication at Protestant Theological Faculty |
2024

Abstract

This article offers an answer to the question, why on the one hand the ecumenism between churches from the similar cultural and linguistic environment is perfectly functional despite their theological differences, but on the other hand, once we cross the ethnical and national borders towards believers of other nations, ecumenism becomes almost impossible.

The main thesis is that that the theological and non-theological (national, cultural, racial, historic, economic, moral) identities, contexts, and factors in ecumenism always mutually interact.
