Receptive Ecumenism June 27- 30 2022, SIGTUNA, SWEDEN

The fifth international conference on Receptive Ecumenism will continue exploring the ecclesiological reparative, critical constructive task of ecumenical ecclesiology that was introduced in the previous conferences. Receptive Ecumenism is a fresh ecumenical methodology emphasizing receptivity, learning, and listening. Since its inception, the concept has taken root in many diverse contexts around the globe.

At this conference, we hope to take this process a step further as we will reflect on the transformative impact of Receptive Ecumenism as an instrument for ecclesial transformation. To which extend are the churches willing to “listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches” (Rev 2:7)? As in the previous conferences, we will have the opportunity to listen to our keynote speakers in plenaries as well as to paper presentations in a number of parallel sessions.

On the Way to Sigtuna 2022: Online “Pre-Conference” in June 2021

The Sigtuna 2022 committee, in partnership with the Centre for Catholic Studies at Durham University (UK), hosted an online “Pre-conference” in June 2021 – “Heeding the Spirit: New Horizons in Receptive Ecumenism”. The pre-conference included a short introduction to Receptive Ecumenism, a series of short, highly accessible talks by leading voices in the field (including some of the invited speakers to the 2022 Sigtuna conference) and time for discussion and sharing. The one-day digital event was open to all and provided an excellent preparation for the main conference in 2022.
