be held at

Monday evening, June 14, 2010
through
Wednesday noon, June 16, 2010
While doctrinal issues have often in the past been the most ecumenically neuralgic topics, increasingly today ethical issues -- abortion and homosexuality most prominently -- have become a focus of difference between the churches and of potentially splintering debate within churches. These issues are more laden with emotion than many traditional doctrinal disputes, but ecumenical discussions have yet to address them in detail. We have little sense of just when and how ethical disputes rightly impact communion within and among the churches. When can we live together with difference over such matters and when does unity in Christ require common teaching? These questions will be addressed from a variety of perspectives.
