Ecumenical meet greets Centennial
An Ecumenical Institute, sponsored by KU, the Kansas School of Religion and University Extension, will be held Sunday through Tuesday as a part of the Centennial celebration. Three leading theologians, participants in the recent Vatican Council, will lead the institute.
"Authorities on various cultural aspects have participated in the Centennial." William J. Moore, dean of the Kansas School of Religion, said. "It is highly proper that religion be represented. The Ecumenical movement should be in the forefront of University thinking."
A PRELIMINARY CONVOCATION, open to the public, will begin the institute. The convocation is at 4 p.m. Sunday in Hoch Auditorium. Other institute events are open only to those who register and pay the registration fee. Students, however, will be admitted without charge to all events.
The three theologians leading the institute are Joseph Sittler, Rabbi Marc Tanenbaum and Father Dan O'Hanlan.
Sittler is professor of theology at the University of Chicago. O'Hanlan is professor of theology at Alma College, Los Gatos, Calif., and Tanenbaum is director of Interreligious Affairs of the American Jewish Committee.
Following the opening convocation, all sessions will be held in the Kansas Union. The institute will feature speeches, panel discussions and group study sessions with the purpose of clarifying thought about the Ecumenical movement and to consider recent developments in the area.
"PROTESTANTS, CATHOLICS and Jews have found that they can stand together on something," said Dean Moore. "The institute will explore this new mood of cooperation in American Religion."
Clergymen from Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Nebraska and Colorado have been invited to participate in the conference. "We expect no layman from outside the northeast Kansas area," said Dean Moore.
Topics for the group study sessions are religious liberty, marriage and the family, the doctrine of authority, christology, liturgical renewal, ecumenism and the Biblical heritage, the church and the non-Christian and continuing reformation and renewal.
BOTH THE KANSAS Union Bookstore and the school of religion will have special book displays for the conference.
"Our three conference leaders are considered among the nation's best interpreters of the ecumenical movement," said Dean Moore.
