In
May 1996, some 60 people attended a seminar on "New Approaches
to Development" organized by the WCC Programme Unit IV: Sharing
and Service. The seminar was designed to:
provide
ecumenical formation among donor agency staff,
trace
key ecumenical thinking about development, and particularly about resource-sharing
and the ecumenical response to poverty,
further
discussion on international cooperation, accountability and new approaches
to development, and
seek
a renewed ecumenical identity in the context of a spirituality of development.
This report contains the texts of addresses, papers, reports, group work
and guidelines presented at and produced by the seminar, including
keynote
addresses on "The Spiritual Dimension of New Thinking About Development"
by Charlene Spretnak (Prof. Of Philosophy and Religion at the California
Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco), and on "The Ecumenical
Movement in the Context of Development Theories and Practices" by Konrad
Raiser (WCC General Secretary), |
