Just do it?! Recognition and Reception in Ecumenical Relations: Selected papers from the 19th academic consultation of the Societas Oecumenica

This issue of Perspectief presents five contributions to the August 2016 Academic Consultation of the Societas Oecumenica, and one paper that was written afterwards, but that fits to the theme. The stimulating core question of the conference was: “Just do it?! Recognition and Reception in Ecumenical Relations”. The papers vary from analyzing the terms to exploring practical implications for local ecumenical encounters. This issue was composed by Fokke Wouda, member of the editorial board of Perspectief and participant in the consultation.
