Abstract

This chapter investigates the potential for a Pentecostal vision of Christian unity in the framework of Receptive Ecumenism. In order to help situate Pentecostalism, it first considers difficulties and obstacles on the way to seeking for Pentecostal engagement with ecumenism, including some of the unique features of that kind of enterprise. Second, it presents one of the classical ecclesiological notions, namely apostolicity, as a viable bridge for helping Pentecostal and other churches connect with the ecumenical task in general and the paradigm of Receptive Ecumenism in particular. Third, in a constructive proposal, it suggests three interrelated tasks on the way towards a mutual engagement in Receptive Ecumenism by both Pentecostals and others.
