The third volume of this History reflects the changes in the profile of the ecumenical movement over the last 35 years, and the controversial and complex period we have just passed through. Chapters cover, among other subjects, inter-religious dialogue, racism and ethnicity, spirituality, inclusive community, and ecumenical social thought. Five introductory analyses cover the global context, major trends in the life of the churches and of the movement, and the progress made in the area of unity.
