Ut Unum Sint

Rublev's Trinity

PURPOSE

Ut Unum Sint is an occasional discussion forum on the campus of Gordon College, sponsored by the Jerusalem & Athens Forum honors program. Its goal is to bring faculty, students, seminarians, local clergy, and area Christians together for three purposes.

  1. To examine and discuss reasons for divisions among Christians and prospects for greater conciliation
  2. To explore social, political and moral issues relevant to all Christians today
  3. To sustain an ongoing conversation about the relationship between the Christian mind (vita comtemplativa) and Christian engagement (vita activa), especially as this relationship pertains to deepening ecumenical understandings and connections among all Christians
