That the World May Believe

ICS is hosting a round table discussion with contributors to the Festschrift honouring George Vandervelde, including Margaret O'Gara (Professor of Theology, University of St Michael's College) and Michael Goheen (Geneva Professor of Worldview and Religious Studies, Trinity Western University)

The ecumenical movement of the 20th century was a quest for unity born of a missionary concern for the world. Thus, from the beginning of present-day ecumenism, mission has been inextricably linked with unity. This volume explores the themes of unity, mission, and their relationship. Seventeen Roman Catholic and Protestant scholars offer essays in honour of George Vandervelde, a leading evangelical ecumenist from the Reformed tradition.

This Symposium brings together scholars conversant with key issues in Ecumenical, Reformed and Roman Catholic theologies. A plenary discussion will follow their presentations.
