Students of theology and young theologians are invited by the World Council of Churches to bring their perspective to the discussion about the future of the ecumenical movement by participating in an essay competition to mark the Council's 60th anniversary.
Both clergy and lay persons are asked to address the theme “Making a Difference Together — Prospects for Ecumenism in the 21st Century.” The best six essays will be presented by the authors at an international consultation in Bossey, Switzerland, in late 2008. Other selected essays will be published by the WCC.
Essays should be written in English, be between 5,000 and 6,000 words, and should not have been published previously. The deadline is Feb. 28, 2008. For more information visit www.oikoumene.org/contest.
