Ecumenism, in its modern incarnation, has always been animated by a large number of different souls. Every one of these incarnated – and still incarnate – a different aspect of the ecumenical movement, differing from one another by a large number of characteristics: i.e. goals, interests, geographical and institutional origin… nevertheless, all have the same need: to be interconnected, and to have a platform to discuss and contribute to the common cause. In this aspect, journals have had a crucial role in the history of ecumenism: most of the institutions and the movements that compose the base of the larger ecumenical movement found their voice in the publication, and theologians often found a public space to discuss their thesis.
The panel aims to gather papers that illustrate the life and history of journals published by ecumenical institutions or movements. Each paper must touch upon both the topics of the journals’ publication history and the major arguments debated on its pages.
Papers about official ecclesiastical journals or bulletin will also be considered, if said publications have had some ecumenical significance or if they testified any kind of evolution of their own church’s perspective on ecumenism or on the ecumenical movement.

As a third option, papers about significant theological querelles on or between journals can be submitted for evaluation.
Abstracts (about 300 words) will be submitted to ecumenism@fscire.it.
