The contributors of this book center our attention on the Blessed Virgin’s increasing importance in the various ecumenical dialogues such as ARCIC- Anglicans with Roman Catholics, Roman Catholics with Lutherans and with Methodists, and the interdenominational Groupe des Dombes. Special attention is given to the prayer mariology of heart and mind as exemplified by Orthodox and Catholic theologians, and is drawn also to Mary’s place, not always  apparent, in Protestant thought as well as in non-Christian religions. There are essays on specific ecumenists especially in relation to Mary, and analyses of the way in which Mariology has been approached, especially by the Ecumenical Society of the Blessed Virgin Mary itself. The Foreward by Professor Frances Young invites both readers and contributors to consider the unexpected ways in which Mary challenges and inspires Christian believers today.
