Abstract

The Clarkston Dialogues are a small and exciting experiment in local ecumenical dialogue. The word “ecumenical” is a Christian term. It refers to the movement to restore unity between Christian groups who, at some point in the last 2000 years, have rejected one another’s fellowship due to differences in belief and practice. The chapter will provide insights from a professional Christian theologian (the author), a specialist in ecumenical dialogue, who facilitated the Clarkston Dialogues, with the goal of summarizing the grassroots dialogue method used and its influence and impact. The goal of this chapter is to draw lessons from local interchurch dialogue that are applicable to servant leadership training in general, in any setting – especially where people are living with the results of long-term, fossilized disagreement. The results demonstrated significant improvement in the knowledge and understanding of the views of each faith tradition and a desire for ongoing dialogue to reduce conflict and misconceptions.
