title That We All May Be One: Toward a Deeper Understanding of Ethics in Ecumenism in The Episcopal Church
abstract The discussions regarding denominational full communion between The Episcopal Church (TEC) and the United Methodist Church (UMC) in the 21st century caused this author to question the fullness of the ecumenical policy and practice of TEC, in particular its relation to and reflection of TEC theology and ethics. This thesis reflects on ecumenism in TEC as it relates to history, theology, and ethics, and offers a proposal on how to more fully articulate and foster a deeper understanding of the Chicago-Lambeth Quadrilateral in conversation with the Baptismal Covenant as the key to ecumenism with the intention of developing and implementing consistent and comprehensive policy in denominational ecumenical efforts.
