History, Theology, and Ecumenism

Thank you to our speakers, supporters, and participants!

"The Apostolic Ministry: History, Theology, and Ecumenism" was a conference hosted by the Berkeley Divinity School at Yale University from October 26–27, 2023 in New Haven, CT. 

This two-day conference explored the ways in which churches claim "apostolicity," and what this ideal means for broader questions of ecumenism and inter-communion. The conference brought together theologians, historians, ordained ministers, students, and seminarians from across denominational boundaries.
