Vol. 2 (2009): Acta Missiologiae 2009
Because of the participation of representatives from these two great faith blocs, as well as from Charismatic and Pentecostal churches, the issue of the relationship between various denominations comes to the forefront, particilarly in the Edinburgh conference. To what extent will the other churches be recognized as legitimate expressions of Christianity, and with what degree of respect will those churches be greeted?
This question has given rise to a number of reflections in Central and Eastern Europe, particularly as it relates to the relationship between Orthodox and non-Orthodox churches. The 2009 conference of the Central and Eastern European Association of Mission Studies (CEEAMS) in Moldova took as its theme the issue of „Dialogue and the Mission of the Church in Central and Eastern Europe.” Several of our authors in this second issue of Acta Missiologiae treat the whole question of dialogue, both between denominations as well as between Christianity and other religions.
