22 Apr 2024


 

The seventh session of the Diploma Ut unum sint 2023-2024 organized by the Institute of Ecumenical Studies of the Angelicum [Œcumenicum] in collaboration with the Dicastery for Promoting Christian Unity was held on Friday 19 April.

This session, dedicated to the Free Churches: Evangelicals and Pentecostals, included lectures by Prof. Teresa Francesca Rossi, Professor at the Angelicum and Associate Director of the Centro Pro Unione, and Prof. Carmine Napolitano, Dean of the Pentecostal Faculty of Religious Sciences, as well as a workshop dedicated to the diocesan delegate for ecumenism. The session ended with a meeting with Pastor Marco Fornerone at the Waldensian Evangelical Church in Piazza Cavour.

Aimed in particular at diocesan delegates for ecumenism and at all those who wish to update their knowledge in the ecumenical field, the "Ut Unum Sint" course was launched in 2019 on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the same encyclical of Saint John Paul II. The program is divided into 8 modules, one Friday a month, for a year. Each thematic module includes a four-hour academic lecture, a workshop and an ecumenical visit to Rome.
