Practexological dimension of ecumenism and its main dialogue form

Abstract

The article analyzes the elements of theoretical and methodological knowledge on the successful functioning of the ecumenical paradigm and attempts to actualize them in the context of interfaith dialogue, which would be marked by concretized productivity. A short historical digression was also made in order to consider the influence of educational philosophical and ideological tendencies on the formation of the modern ecumenical paradigm.Examples of key elements that contribute to the effectiveness of the main dialogical forms of ecumenism are given. The explication of the concept of such a component of the ecumenical concept as "spiritual ecumenism" provides an opportunity to outline its significance as an integral element in the integrity of Catholic ecumenism and proves the practical benefits of this component for the ecumenical movement. It was found that the Second Vatican Council made adjustments to the Catholic understanding of ecclesiology, and the focus of the Catholic Church's teaching government on "Eucharistic ecclesiology." Also in the article, based on official documents of the Catholic Church, the attitude of modern Catholicism to the issue of restoring Eucharistic communion with the participants in the ecumenical dialogue is revealed. The main purpose of the article is to analyze the historical and cultural impact on the formation of the praxeological element of the ecumenical paradigm, the correlation of controversial views on the functionality and effectiveness of key forms of ecumenical dialogue. In the course of the research, such research tasks were achieved as the analysis of the historical formation of the main aspects of the ecumenical movement; a comparative analysis of the polar views of researchers and theologians on the ecumenical concept in general; a comparative analysis of the main vectors of ecumenism development under the influence of socio-cultural transformations; the common religious elements of Christian denominations, which are key in the process of constructing the main dialogical forms, were highlighted.
