This exegesis, engaged in strikingly similar manners by both organizations, remains bereft of its traditional controls that, if followed, would allow it to more productively shape ecclesial life.

Questions of what constitutes true ecumenism abound: given the enormous breadth of theological and ecclesial disparities that persist even after the first harvest of sustained ecumenical dialogue, what will eventually yield Christian union? This article analyzes one approach, that of receptive ecumenism (RE). If RE represents a crucial component enabling the future of the ecumenical movement, it warrants continued examination. If RE occurs primarily as a work of the Spirit, such an effort should include a thorough pneumatology that discerns how attention to the Spirit connects with its goals. In what follows, I outline the basis for a Third Article Theology (TAT) of receptive ecumenism. This approach starts with the Spirit as the person who enables those of all times and places to enter Christ’s transformative mission. I then elaborate how the Spirit enables that transformation through receptive ecumenism’s call to convert to the other.
