I. Ecumenism: Seeking Unity Among Christian Traditions Ecumenism is the theological effort to promote unity among different Christian traditions. Systematic theology engages with this contemporary issue by emphasizing shared beliefs and fostering collaboration. Scripture: Ephesians 4:3 - "Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace." This verse encourages Christians to actively pursue and maintain the unity of the Spirit, fostering cooperation and understanding among diverse believers. II. Interfaith Dialogue: Building Bridges Beyond Christianity Interfaith dialogue involves conversations and mutual understanding between members of different faith traditions. Systematic theology contributes by identifying common ground and fostering respectful discussions. Scripture: 1 Peter 3:15 - "But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect." This verse emphasizes the importance of engaging in dialogue with gentleness and respect, providing a biblical foundation for interfaith conversations.
