Ecumenism is on a new path for the new millennium.
Pastors as ecumenical leaders and ecumenical leaders as pastors will need an increasing knowledge of and sensitivity to the differences that enrich and divide Christians. This doctor of ministry in Ecumenism and Reconciliation will integrate the knowledge and the pastoral sensitivity needed for effective leadership in the local congregation and beyond. Participants will take advantage of Washington's unique resources for the cutting edge study of ecumenism and reconciliation through guest lecturers and selected on-site visits during the intensive terms. Washington is the home of the Catholic Bishops Conference, Washington National Cathedral, The Interfaith Conference, and various National Offices such as the Presbyterian Church, the Lutheran Church, and the American Baptist Church. Participants will also benefit from the resources of the Washington Consortium's nine affiliated institutions.
