This hard-hitting volume probes the way in which the members of the
World Council of Churches and other Christian world communions have
carried on dialogue with member and non-member churches, and
questions whether the canons of doctrinal orthodoxy that have
prevailed are adequate. How do these criteria for judging ecclesial
authenticity stand up to third-world churches' canons of
"orthopraxy"? As the world church becomes increasingly the church
of the Thirld World, what is the future of the ecumenical movement?
According to Tesfai, third-world Christians demand that ecumenism
be judged by its contribution to the struggle for liberation in a
hostile world. He shows convincingly that the weight given to
canons of theological orthodoxy makes much of the ecumenical
dialogue of the past fifty years unappealing to Christians in the
Third World. Here the criterion becomes how dialogue and ecclesial
life direct the followers of Christ to open up to a broader
ecumenism that seeks to overcome injustice and to realize the full
freedom promised in the gospel.
