Gathered in My Name: Ecumenism in the World Church
April 28-30, 2017
Chicago
In 1517, Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the church door in Wittenberg, Germany. This April—500 years later—here in Chicago, speakers from places as diverse as India, Nigeria, Brazil, Chile, and Sri Lanka gather to address the lingering repercussions of the Reformation in the global South—Asia, Africa, and Latin America—as well as the efforts there to bridge ecclesial divides.
