Tear Down These Walls

Church Leadership & Ministry

“A fascinating and awesome book which--taking start from the narration of the biographical events that led the author to a lifelong commitment to the cause of ecumenism--provides an honest and insightful glance at the issues at stake in the journey to unity. Bridging past and future, personal conversion and ecclesial identity, biblical perspective and confessional sources from various Christian traditions, the book proposes the key concepts of a 'new ecumenism,' such as 'missional ecumenism,' 'cooperative love,' 'relational unity,' and calls for a concrete individual and communal involvement in the ecumenical enterprise that is costly, but possible.”
