William G. Rusch is a member of the faculty of the Divinity School of Yale University. He has been a member of a number of national dialogues and the Joint Vatican-World Council of Churches Working Group. He is the author of Ecumenical Reception: Its Challenge and Opportunity (2007).
"In the context of his masterly telling of the story of the modern
ecumenical movement, Dr. Rusch reflects on how to regain momentum
in the move to unity in a time of stagnation. He urges churches to
receive formally the results of their ecumenical dialogues by way
of declarations that issue in closer relations and shared mission.
The author's challenge deserves serious consideration by those
charged with guiding the pilgrimage to unity today. A positive
response might lead some churches away from self absorption and
re-ignite in them a commitment to unity."
--Mary Tanner DBE, President for Europe, World Council of Churches,
2007-13
"William G. Rusch is one of the great theological minds of our era.
He has dedicated his gifts and passion to realizing the visible
unity of the church of Jesus Christ. Toward a Common Future is his
finest achievement to date. The specific proposal that he offers in
Chapter 7 sets out the final steps of this long ecumenical journey
toward visible unity that the pilgrim people of God have been
on."
--Dale Irvin, President, New York Theological Seminary
