Description
Summary:Ecumenical Shared Ministries (ESM's) combine two or more traditions in a variety of contexts and for as many reasons. The space such congregations share suggests resources for an ESM ecclesiology. Ecumenical parishes live with their multiple traditions in a mutual "otherness" that invites reciprocity, mutual indwelling, and communion. Their shared space—"disruptive" of the norms of single-traditioned churches—marks a shared practice of both acknowledging and dying to boundaries across a history that becomes necessarily experimental. Finally, ESM's witness to the church's cruciform body of self-giving—in this case, of one tradition to the other—in a sharing of gifts and graces.
