The Academy ordinarily meets the last full weekend of September in an Annual Conference to discuss contemporary ecumenical issues in an informal setting. Conference papers are submitted to the Journal of Ecumenical Studies, which has first rights of publication. Members of the Academy receive a subscription to the Journal as a benefit of membership.
Please join us on Zoom as Dr. Jakob Rinderknecht introduces his forthcoming book, An Ecumenical Priesthood: The Spirit of God and the Structure of the Church. The book is a critical translation of Karl Rahner’s Vorfragen zu einem ökumenischen Amtsverständnis. In this book, Rahner proposes a means by which Roman Catholics could recognize the ordinations of Protestant ministers, and therefore also the real ecclesiality of Protestant churches. Following Jakob’s presentation, there will be opportunity for questions and discussion.
