The last two decades have witnessed the growing participation in
theological dialogues of non-institutional (free church) movements.
This poses a serious challenge to 21st century ecumenism, since
ecclesial realities and internal diversity of these movements
impede fruitful dialogue in the classical manner. The present
volume addresses fundamental aspects of this challenge by a
critical study of an exemplary case of such dialogues, the
International Roman Catholic-Classical Pentecostal Dialogue
(1972-2007). This unique study builds both on primary archival
sources and on earlier research on the IRCCPD. After providing an
ecumenical profile of the Classical Pentecostal dialogue partner,
Creemers demonstrates how fair representation of the Classical
Pentecostal movement has been pursued in the course of the
dialogue. Next, he gives attention to the ecumenical method of the
IRCCPD. First, the development of a dialogue method hinging on
"hard questions" is traced, which has allowed a balanced
theological exchange between the dialogue partners. Regarding
theological method, it is demonstrated that both partners showed a
willingness to experiment together by integrating sources of
theological knowledge typically distrusted in their own traditions.
In conclusion, the analyses are integrated in an overview of
challenges and opportunities for dialogue with the Classical
Pentecostal movement in the context of ongoing discussions on
ecumenical method.
