Description
Who are the influential personalities and visionaries behind the ecumenical movement? In this new course offered by the Huffington Ecumenical Institute at Hellenic College Holy Cross, we will explore the lives and contributions of key figures who have shaped and advanced the cause of Christian unity across denominational boundaries. From early pioneers to modern-day leaders like Pope Paul VI, Ecumenical Patriarch Athenagoras, and Archbishop Desmond Tutu among many others, this course will examine the diverse array of individuals, clergy and laity alike, who have played pivotal roles in fostering dialogue, reconciliation, and cooperation among different Christian traditions. Through in-depth study and analysis of their writings, speeches, and actions, we will gain a deeper understanding of the complexities and dynamics of the ecumenical movement, and how these personalities have left an indelible mark on its history and trajectory.
