The North American Academy of Ecumenists is holding its annual conference from November 16th through 17th in San Antonio, Texas. This year’s conference is titled, “Ecumenism in the Borderlands: Translating Worlds.”
The Academy of Ecumenists has called for papers, inviting papers that pertain to ecumenism and translation. The conference’s Call for Papers will remain open until August 1.
“We invite consideration of ecumenism as work that takes place at the edges and borders of chosen human divisions, including those of language, culture, and other boundaries both between and within ecclesial communities,” the Academy says on its website. “Living on the borders (intellectual as well as spatial) often produces conception of the world that is different from that of those who do not regularly encounter such borders.”
Graymoor Ecumenical and Interreligious Institute Associate Director Dr. Aaron Hollander is serving as the President of the North American Academy of Ecumenists and will be presiding over this year’s conference.
