Dinner tickets are free for CTF members.ECUMENISM AND INTERFAITH IN AN AGE OF GLOBAL CRISIS: CHALLENGE AND HOPEThe last decade has seen unprecedented levels of both state-based and non-state conflict with religious identities often playing a central role and with forms of religious nationalism becoming powerful forces in international relations. At the same time, the climate crisis and its devastating effects have continued to destroy and dislocate communities across the globe while rapid globalisation has been accompanied by an increasing push to renegotiate national and religious identities and relationships. Ecumenical and interfaith relationships are certainly facing the challenges brought about by these changes. This conference asks what these challenges really mean for ecumenical and interfaith work and what hope still exists for these endeavours.The CTF is an inherently ecumenical body, bringing together Anglican, Roman Catholic, Lutheran, URC, Methodist and Orthodox institutions alongside research institutes which promote the study of interfaith relations, the global nature of Christianity, and the relationships between religion, science and policy. The CTF therefore represents a space in which barriers are broken down in the common pursuits of personal and professional development, shared worship and encounter, and research.Where the seeds of ecumenical and interfaith work have grown naturally in the spaces between our Member Houses, this conference serves to centralise this work within the ethos of the CTF as a whole. The conference is also an opportunity for attendees to consider more deeply what the challenges facing ecumenical and interfaith work are and to find hope in the many cases of positive interaction that are continuing to take place even against these challenges. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/cambridge/ecumenism-and-interfaith-in-an-age-of-global-crisis-challenge-and-hope/100001992127851029 - **Event Categories**: business, conferences, contests, science-fair - **Slot details of has slots**: - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 8 hours - Location: Woolf Institute - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Cambridge - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Woolf Institute - **lat**: 52.2104258 - **long**: 0.1108102 - **full address**: Woolf Institute, Madingley Road, Cambridge, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Ecumenism and Interfaith in an Age of Global Crisis: Challenge and Hope - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/1c8b100c827b404e2ff4bfca3e0f21ab4ec15eb1a0d3830be9e6a17e28a3242a-rimg-w1200-h938-dcd6d6d7-gmir.jpg?v=1783359567 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Ecumenism and Interfaith in an Age of Global Crisis: Challenge and Hope being held? - **A:** Ecumenism and Interfaith in an Age of Global Crisis: Challenge and Hope takes place on Tue, 22 Sep, 2026 at 09:00 am to Thu, 24 Sep, 2026 at 05:00 pm at Woolf Institute, Madingley Road, Cambridge, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Ecumenism and Interfaith in an Age of Global Crisis: Challenge and Hope? - **A:** Ecumenism and Interfaith in an Age of Global Crisis: Challenge and Hope is organized by Woolf Institute. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
