 The
Graymoor Ecumenical and Interreligious Institute, a
ministry of the Franciscan Friars of the Atonement, is an information
and service organization serving primarily, but not exclusively,
the Roman Catholic Church in the United States in its mission
of Christian Unity and interreligious dialogue. The Institute
employs several means to accomplish this goal:
- The specialization desks of the Institute
-
The annual Week of Prayer for Christian Unity
- The journal Ecumenical
Trends
- Membership in and collaboration with national and local
ecumenical and interreligious organizations and agencies
- Cooperation with individuals engaged in ecumenical and interreligious
works
When
it
was founded as the Graymoor Ecumenical Institute by the Franciscan
Friars of the Atonement in 1967, the Institute responded to
the friars' historical concern for Christian Unity and adapted
it to the theological and ecumenical developments arising from
the Second Vatican Council. This is manifested in the Institute's
continued concern for and commitment to the contemporary movements
for reconciliation and renewal among Christian churches.
In
1991, in response to developments in both the Institute and
the wider ecumenical scene, the Graymoor Ecumenical Institute
became the Graymoor Ecumenical & Interreligious Institute.
With the name change also came structural changes - including
the introduction of specialization desks serving specific areas
of concern within the ecumenical and interreligious movements.
