| Summary: | This article provides an overview of the expansion of the notion of the ecumenical in the course of the 20th century as the growing number of Christians living in the global South began to develop distinct Christian identities in connection with their participation in nation-building projects, which included close relations with neighbours of other faiths. Far from being isolated, these “third-world Christians” formed important transnational networks, through which they exchanged experiences and integrated emphases developed in different parts of the world. Among other things, a dialogue between Latin American liberation theology and Asian theologies of religion has evolved to bring together the religious and the suffering “other,” turning interreligious relations into not only a liberative event, but also a decolonial act. |
