This page contains information about study aids for congregations and ecumenical groups, dealing
a) with the topic of ecumenism itself and ecumenical dialogue, and
b) with various theological and other topics from an ecumenical perspective. Some resources will present different denominational views on the one topic.
Some of the resources suggested will be international in nature. Others have been produced in Australia. We also point you to sources of material which present a non-first-world perspective on relevant issues.
We are happy to receive suggestions of materials which could fit the above categories. While we cannot promise to include all suggestions here, we will certainly try to do justice to the breadth of understanding represented within our member churches. Please contact us: admin@qct.org.au .
