'URCumenism' Blog

Image by Vicki's Pics via FlickrA warm welcome to another ecumenical blog.  The author of URCumenism is Revd David Tatum, the Secretary for Ecumenical Relations at the United Reformed Church.  I've put a link in the right hand column of this blog, so that you can access it. 

David usually posts after significant meetings.  It is a personal and engaging read and so it is a welcome contribution to blogs about ecumenism. 

I note a couple of recent posts which may be of interest to readers of this blog.

1. The ecumenical service at Westminster Abbey, led by Pope Benedict XVI and the Archbishop of Canterbury on Friday 17 September 2010.  David has written an account on URCumenism, here.  You will also find a report of the service on the URC website, here.
2. A few days ago, I posted looking forward to the AGM of the Society for Ecumenical Studies.  David has posted about this meeting, here.
