Ecclesiological Investigations Research Network
Conversations
about the nature, role and purpose of the church today are increasingly
preoccupying not just theologians, but the faithful, pastors and church
leaders alike. A new international research network, ‘Ecclesiological
Investigations’, has been established to provide encouragement,
resources and facilitation for such dialogue.
Thus Ecclesiological Investigations brings together quality research
and inspiring debates in ecclesiology worldwide from a network of
international scholars, research centres and projects in the field.
Mission
The mission statement of this new Network states that it seeks to serve
as a hub for national and international collaboration in ecclesiology,
drawing together other groups and networks, initiating research
ventures and providing administrative support as well as acting as a
funding magnet to support conversations, research and education in this
field.
Hence the EI Network exists to promote collaborative ecclesiology.
The Network's Five Fundamental Aims
1. The establishment of partnerships between
scholars, research
projects and research centres across the world.
2. The development of virtual, textual and actual conversation between
the many persons and groups involved in research and debate about
ecclesiology.
3. Organising and sharing in colloquia, symposia and conferences.
4. Encouraging joint teaching, exchanges of postgraduate students and
faculty.
5. Publishing the best fruits of all such scholarship, conversation and
collaboration in our ongoing series of volumes - Ecclesiological
Investigations (T. & T. Clark International), as well as in the
journal Ecclesiology: the Journal for Ministry, Mission and Unity
(Brill).
