| Summary: | This essay explores the importance of dialogue in ecumenical relations in the thought and writing of Gregory Baum. To do so it focusses on three of his writings. The first is an interview he gave in 2005 to A. miller in the Journal of Philosophy and scripture. The second is his discussion of ecumenism in his 2005 book Amazing Church. A Catholic Theologian Remembers a Half Century of Change. The third is one of the last writings of Gregory Baum written in 2016 entitled « Interreligious Dialogue Includes Listening to Secular Voices », in the Toronto Journal of Theology. All three of these writings stem from his earlier writing on the second Vatican Council. The three documents which are referred to are Unitatis redintegratio, Nostra aetate, and Gaudium et spes as well as the 1991 document Dialogue and Proclamation. The essay therefore explores Baum’s appreciation of all three forms of ecumenical dialogue, namely that which exists between Christian denominations, inter faith and dialogue with secular thought. These are not exhaustive commentaries on the previous documents and they are certainly not exhaustive in terms of Baum’s theological perspective on ecumenical dialogue. Rather, they will serve as a springboard when asking if his perspectives are still relevant for the church today. Cet essai explore l’importance du dialogue dans les relations oecuméniques selon la pensée et l’écriture de Gregory Baum. Pour ce faire, il se concentre sur trois de ses écrits. Le premier est un entretien qu’il a donné en 2005 à A. Miller dans le Journal of Philosophy and Scripture. Le second est sa discussion sur l’oecuménisme dans son livre de 2005, Amazing Church. A catholic theologian remembers 50 years of change. Le troisième est l’un des derniers écrits de Gregory Baum, rédigé en 2016 et intitulé «Interreligious Dialogue includes Listening to Secular Voices», dans le Toronto Journal of Theology. Ces trois écrits proviennent de son oeuvre antérieure sur le Concile Vatican II. Les trois documents auxquels il est fait référence sont Unitatis redintegratio, Nostra aetate et Gaudium et spes, ainsi que le document de 1991, Dialogue and Proclamation. L’essai explorera donc l’appréciation de Baum pour les trois formes de dialogue oecuménique, à savoir ce qui existe entre les confessions chrétiennes, l’interconfessionnel et le dialogue avec la pensée laïque. Ce ne sont pas des commentaires exhaustifs sur les documents précédents et ils ne sont certainement pas exhaustifs en ce qui a trait à la perspective théologique de Baum sur le dialogue oecuménique. Ils serviront plutôt de tremplin pour évaluer si ses perspectives sont toujours pertinentes pour l’église aujourd’hui. |
