For many Christians, the 20th century has often been referred to as the
‘century of Ecumenism’ as well as the ‘century of Martyrs’. Taking these
two descriptions into consideration, Deacon Didier Rance proposes the
‘ecumenical’ role of martyrdom and most importantly, the witness of
Christian holiness as found among ‘saints’ from across Christian
traditions. Taking much inspiration from the seminal thought of Pope
John Paul II on this matter, Deacon Rance invites students to a detailed
study of martyrologies and accounts of personal sanctity from across
Christian traditions, with special emphasis given to 20th century
accounts. Participants within this course will consider the ‘ecumenical
potential’ of this very new and promising field of ecumenical research.
