“Ut Unum Sint- That They may be One” celebrating St. John Paul II encyclical on Christian unity.  

Seton Hall University's Catholic Studies Program presents "Ut Unum Sint- That They may be One" celebrating St. John Paul II encyclical on Christian unity. The event will take place on Wednesday November 11, 2020 at 5:00pm on zoom.

The event is co-sponsored by the Immaculate Conception School of Theology and Department of Religion at Seton hall University.

About the Lecture:
In this lecture, Professor Eduardo J Echeverria will consider three essential aspects of St. John Paul's Encyclical: (1) Its continuity with Vatican II's Decree, Unitatis Redintegratio, (2) its understanding of ecumenical dialogue as what has been called receptive ecumenism, (3) the fundamental ecclesiological question of ecclesial unity and diversity within the One Church, the Catholic Church.
