This essay engages Cheryl Bridges Johns's call at the 2007 Global Christian Forum gathering for a death of the "old mainstream ecumenical paradigm" and the current strategies employed within the modern ecumenical movement. Taking up this call, it begins by exploring new "ways of knowing," for which Johns called, and suggests the epistemological work of nineteenth-century theologian John Henry Newman as being a seedbed for alternatives that will enliven the ecumenical movement. Particularly, it offers a Newmanian reading of Receptive Ecumenism in order to suggest that this new paradigm must include ecclesial and personal transformation through the practice of assent between churches. Receptive Ecumenism calls for a posture of learning and transformation by attending to the needs or "wounds" of one's own church and to seek new ways forward through the reception of expressions of the church of Christ, or the reign of God, found within one's ecumenical other. This essay argues that, beyond simply notional learning, Receptive Ecumenism, read through the lens of Newman, offers a path forward for transformation through its emphasis on real apprehension of the ecumenical other and the practice or application of that which is received with "dynamic integrity."

概要：

本文涉及谢丽尔·布里奇斯·约翰斯 (Cheryl Bridges Johns) 在 2007 年全球基督教论坛聚会上呼吁“旧的主流普世合一范式”消亡以及现代普世运动中当前采用的策略。响应这一号召，它首先探索约翰斯所呼吁的新的“认识方式”，并建议将十九世纪神学家约翰·亨利·纽曼的认识论工作作为替代方案的温床，从而使普世运动充满活力。特别是，它提供了对接受性普世主义的纽曼式解读，以表明这种新范式必须包括通过教会之间同意的实践来实现教会和个人的转变。接受性普世主义要求采取一种学习和变革的姿态，关注自己教会的需要或“创伤”，并通过接受在自己的普世主义中发现的基督教会的表达或上帝的统治来寻求新的前进道路。其他。本文认为，除了简单的概念性学习之外，从纽曼的角度来看，接受性普世主义通过强调对普世他人的真正理解以及以“动态完整性”所接受的实践或应用，提供了一条前进的转型之路。 ”。
