Description
Summary:The article seeks to reflect critically on the ecumenical work of a programme of the World Council of Churches–Ecumenical Theological Education (ETE), the Pan African Women’s Ecumenical Empowerment Network (PAWEEN), from 2013 to 2021. In so doing, the aim is to identify conceptual learning and recommendations for the further evolution of a renewed and relevant global model for ecumenical theological education in the future. The major finding from the work of PAWEEN ETE 2013–21 is that the priorities in future approaches for dealing with ecumenical theological education should be to decolonize and decentralize epistemology and methodology and to create a theological education that is relevant today and in the future. Such an approach should include a Pan-African women’s lens of faith within and outside the churches.
