Abstract
precis: This essay explores how the legacy of asceticism from patristic spirituality may be retrieved alongside constructive ecclesiology and studies in embodied cognition to enliven modern ecumenical method. Asceticism concerns the transformation of humanity into divine likeness by learning how to encounter God in the world. The essay discerns the major determining features of asceticism in individuals before showing how these characteristics can be pursued on communal levels. An ascetic ecumenism works from the ground up to facilitate sharing models of holiness across ecclesial communities.
