| Summary: | Det teologiske menighetsfakultet, or MF Norwegian School of Theology, has undergone an extensive development.

This article presents this story, gives insights into the historical process, and presents the current experiences of opening the school to non-Lutheran students and teachers. On the basis of this case study, the article reflects on ecumenical perspectives that could be constructive for the twenty-first century. |
