A reconfiguração do movimento ecumênico e a busca de uma teologia ecumênica na América Latina

Abstract

The ecumenical movement is a dynamic reality in constant transformation according to the new times, the new contexts and the new subjects that are integrated in the dialogue about oikoumene, such as cultures and religions. The objective of this study is to investigate how this fact affects the reconfiguration of the semantic universe of the concept “ecumenism” nowdays. It proceeds by analyzing the challenges and contributions that the new cultural and religious actors present to ecumenical dialogue in the continent; and it concludes that significant elements emerge for the elaboration of a Latin American ecumenical theology.
