Abstract
As did many theological gatherings during 201:2, annual conference of North American Academy of Ecumenists celebrated fiftieth anniversary of Second Vatican Council (1962-65). At its meeting in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, September 21-23, 2012, papers were presented by an illustrious ensemble of theologians whose academic portfolios hold Christian unity and ecumenical movement at center. Addressing conference theme, The Ecumenical Legacy of Second Vatican Council, major speakers represented ecumenical landscape of mainline Christianity--Orthodox, Anglican, and Protestant churches, with members of Catholic Church among participants in local dialogical panel. Each presentation and conversation that followed witnessed not only to reception of Vatican II but also to reality that Vatican II is not Catholic affair. It was--is--an event to which, in one way or another, all churches lay claim, so much so that post-conciliar Christian theology came to be done ecumenically. most influential factors in this shift from denominational to ecumenical sensibility is increase of interchurch outreach in social justice and advocacy and growth of interchurch dialogues, particularly bilateral dialogue, which was largely Catholic initiative during ensuing years after council. Witness to latter's maturation is Harvesting Project initiated by Cardinal Walter Kasper while president of Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity. (1) Furthermore, doing theology ecumenically is nurtured by movements upon which ecumenical movement draws, three of which are missionary movement, biblical movement, and movement--each also focus of Vatican II. United Methodist Church minister, Rev. Dr. Karen Westerfield Tucker, made this clear in opening address. After survey of observations from Christians of diverse churches, some who attended council, she measured its ecumenical legacy through her liturgical lens, (2) with focus on recognition of baptism and use of texts. It is in context of baptism that Unitatis redintegratio, no. 3, refers to certain, though imperfect, communion that baptized Christians of other churches have with Catholic Church. Hence, Dr. Westerfield Tucker noted, baptismal question is also ecclesiological question. This is most evident in texts. She stressed significance not only of common shape of liturgy but also of a relatively close Sunday-by-Sunday sharing of scriptural readings when Revised Common Lectionary is used. (3) Her liturgical lens offers unique insights into interconnectedness of Christians and their churches, thanks to ecumenical findings in bilateral and multilateral contexts. An Orthodox perspective on Vatican II's ecumenical legacy was presented by Dr. Despina Prassas, Greek Orthodox. She gives three perspectives: the importance of dialogue; ... increased importance of role of conciliarity in life of Church ... and ... influence of council on dismantling of communist system in many Eastern European countries. (4) Her focus on dialogue is dialogue between Orthodox churches and Catholic Church, which is fruit of process that led to presence of Orthodox at council. Her attention to renewed emphasis on conciliarity concerns work of the magisterium of bishops in union with Roman pontiff, stressing that they, too, enjoy Holy Spirit's assistance when they define point of faith in conjunction with successor of Peter. (5) Dr. Prassas noted that for Orthodoxy the concept of conciliarity extends also to laity, concluding her thoughts on conciliarity by stating: Perhaps greatest testimony ... of ... conciliarity is reciprocal use of term 'sister churches' by Catholic Church and Orthodox Church. …
