Living reconciliation - two ecumenical pioneers"
USA
Rev. Joan Brown Campbell, former executive director of the US office of the World Council of Churches, and Bishop Thomas Hoyt Jr., president of the US National Council of Churches, both discovered ecumenism - the movement to reconcile Christian churches - during the Civil Rights era.
Featured on the Speaking of Faith radio program, they will describe what they've learned about grappling with vexing clashes of difference, and why reconciliation among different Christians still matters in a multi-religious, post-Hurricane Katrina world.
This program will air on US public radio stations from November 3 through November 9, 2005. It will also be featured on the Speaking of Faith Web site during that time.
