This course will focus on the Catholicism’s dialogue with other Christian churches, ecclesial communities, and world religions. It will allow the student to appropriate Church teaching as contained in documents such as Unitatis Redintegratio, Nostra Aetate, Orientalium Ecclesiarum, Dominus Iesus, Ut Unum Sint, subsequent papal documents, and documents from the Diacastery for Ecumenical and Interfaith dialogue. The course will also expose students to the major accomplishments that have resulted from dialogue between the Catholic Church and other Protestant denominations. Students will be exposed to various levels and types of dialogue, and be given practical opportunities to experience them.
