Ecumenical Relationships 1969-1980.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/53237105

This series comprises records related to the ecumenical relationships of the Lutheran Church in America. The records were retained by the Rev. William G. Rusch, Director, Department for Ecumenical Relations for the Division for World Mission and Ecumenism (DWME) from 1979-1987. The records were generated from 1969-1980 and comprise handwritten and typewritten business correspondence, copies of meeting minutes, papers on various ecumenical topics, newsletters, promotional and informational literature, financial material pertaining to grants issued by the DWME for ecumenical projects and services, guidelines for grant funding, and copies of LCA guidelines regarding ecumenical relationships. The series is subdivided into areas of ecumenical work within the LCA, its partnerships with other Lutheran bodies, interfaith and interdenominational dialogues, and its work with national and international ecumenical organizations. Folders pertaining to interfaith dialogues and relationships between the LCA and other Christian denominations, as well as the Jewish faith, include copies of correspondence between the churches, summaries of progress made on topics of common interest and concern, and differences in particular doctrinal positions. There are records generated from before the creation of the DWME, but were kept in this series for continuity purposes. Files are arranged alphabetically.
