Institute for Ecumenical Studies

Page contents

Program Description

Launched to mark the 25th anniversary of the encyclical Ut Unum Sint of John Paul II, the course provides an on-going formation in ecumenism in collaboration with the Dicastery for Promoting Christian Unity. A unique initiative in Italy, led by scholars from various Church Communions, this Course is especially addressed to diocesan ecumenical officers. The Course offers a high-level study program in Italian (eight thematic units over one year, on Fridays), at the end of which students receive the Diploma “Ut Unum Sint” in Ecumenical Studies. Each thematic unit includes one lesson of 4 academic hours, one workshop and an ecumenical visit in Rome.

Each thematic unit includes:

  • Three lectures of four academic hours each, on three different topics
  • An ecumenical visit to Rome and its surroundings

The lessons will be held in Italian by professors and experts in the subject, who belong to different churches.

At the end of the curriculum, it is possible to obtain the “Ut Unum Sint” Diploma in Ecumenical Studies (Diploma awarded by the Institute of Ecumenical Studies). However, to obtain the “Ut Unum Sint” Diploma, the following things must be completed:

  • Attendance at the modules.
  • A final essay of 20-30 pages
  • An exam to be passed at the end of the year. The exams includes the discussion of the essay.

Those who do not intend to obtain the Diploma will receive a certificate of participation (always with the minimum attendance required).
