This series contains the original materials relating to the establishment of NAAE when it was known as the Association of Professors Teaching in Ecumenics. Highlights include materials from Bossey, Switzerland which discuss the advances made in introducing ecumenical studies to theological schools; the Dirks Report, which emerged from the desire to establish an institute in the Western Hemisphere dedicated to ecumenical study, thought and education; and syllabi from courses gathered at the meeting of the Professors of Ecumenics in 1957.
