“…63 Deploying deep approaches to learning, like receptive learning, is an exercise in 'collaborative ecclesial learning', a poiesis or constructive activity, which is necessarily a 'collegial process'. 64 If so, then, as this article suggests, deep approaches to learning offer a vision for ecclesial learning that will draw on the creative but transformative tension of learning that is 'world-involving' precisely because it is 'God-involving' and vice versa. The temptation for churches at present is to mirror shallow approaches to mission and mission-shaped churches in the face of plurality…”

This article draws on the findings of recent learning theory in adult education and describes possible ecclesial dispositions that better enable parish churches to be learning communities within the mission of God for the world. Once we understand our educational philosophy and our goals then we are better served to inform and shape the way we plan and go about the process of teaching and learning, and so develop the church’s sense of mission. The article argues that, deep approaches to learning offer a vision for ecclesial learning that will draw from the many and varied contexts where diversity is increasingly our experience. Creative but transformative learning that is ‘world involving’ precisely because it is ‘God involving’ and vice versa, can help the church mirror approaches to mission that reflect discipleship and mission in the name of the Triune God.

“…Accordingly, the members of ARCIC continue to develop fresh strategies for seeking to serve this need (Murray 2011, 205-206). It is in direct relation to this context and its challenges, and in creative continuity with the work of ARCIC, that the strategy which has come to be referred to as 'receptive ecumenism' has been devised and tested as charting a way for contemporary ecumenism (Murray 2008a(Murray , 2008b(Murray , 2015Murray and Murray 2012). It proceeds by bringing to the fore the dispositions of self-critical hospitality, humble learning, and ongoing conversion that have always been quietly essential to good ecumenical work and by turning them into the explicit required strategy and core task of contemporary ecumenism.…”

“…As Paul Murray notes: 'More pervasive has been the sense that ecumenical engagement is made easier when it focuses on collaborating in practical activities of service and mission rather than on unravelling arcane matters of faith and order regarded as blocking the way to structural unity.' 35 Both of these are of course important and even necessary, but neither approach seems to account for the type of unity present within Pentecostalism. There is no real interest in doctrinal agreement among their members or in significant collaboration in service and mission -if anything there is more an attitude of going it alone and protecting one's own territory.…”

In 2012 and 2013 the author was privileged to attend two global consultations on Pentecostalism, one in Oxford, the other in Sydney, as the official Catholic observer, together with Tamara Grdzelidze representing the World Council of Churches (WCC). These consultations brought together Pentecostal theologians from all parts of the globe to discuss the present situation of Pentecostalism. The two consultations reveal the great diversity within Pentecostalism and their struggles to find their own place within the larger Christian ecumenical movement. The presence of a Catholic and WCC observer, plus papers from Orthodox and Baptist speakers indicate the willingness of the Pentecostal movement to both listen and speak to the broader Christian churches. In light of the various presentations at the two consultations this article will examine the global situation of Pentecostalism from a Catholic perspective, considering the challenges posed to and by this movement for the whole church.
