Series 2: Protestant Conversations, 1932 -- 1972

This series is open for research.

0.5 linear feet; 0.5 linear feet; 1 box

This series contains a small collection of conversations between Protestant faiths from the United States as well as abroad, which include a few booklets outlining bilateral discussion in the 1930s and 1950s. Of interest are the four folders containing documents that date far earlier than the majority of the documents, dealing mainly with bilateral conversations between Anglicans and the Orthodox Church. The 1932 booklet covering the Joint Doctrinal Commission between the Anglican and the Eastern Orthodox Church is a report of the conference which was appointed under resolutions made at the Lambeth Conference of 1932. The collection also contains a report of the bilateral conference between the Rumanian Commission [sic] on relations with the Church of England in June of 1935, a 1958 report of the Joint Commission on the Assistance to the Eastern Orthodox Churches, and a 1959 paper by Professor Vasil T. Istavridis on Orthodoxy and Anglicanism in the Twentieth Century.

This series is arranged alphabetically according to which Church was leading the discussion and then chronologically according to the date of each meeting.
