Moral Theology Ecumenically Oriented

Sławomir Nowosad



Abstract

Ecumenical dialogue only occasionally attempted a thorough analysis of the Christian moral vision in its various traditions. Moral theology (Christian ethics), too, needs to adopt a more ecumenical stance and become more willing to enter in a mutually enriching common study of moral life. Encouraging examples of such comparative and sincere endeavours can be found in theologians like J. M. Gustafson (Protestant), J. T. Bretzke (Catholic), B. Petrà (Catholic), S. S. Harakas (Orthodox) and others. John Paul II's major pronouncements on Christian morality (Veritatis Splendor and Evangelium Vitae) also provoked worthwhile discussions among Catholic and non-Catholic moral theologians. The John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin, with its Chair of Ecumenical Moral Theology, has also had its different and promising contributions to create a more ecumenically oriented moral theology.
