Location of University of Dublin Trinity College
The Irish School of Ecumenics, Trinity College Dublin, is located in Dublin and Belfast. It is committed to the study and promotion of dialogue, peace and reconciliation in Ireland and around the world. It is recognised for its interdisciplinary approach to taught programmes and research, drawing on the fields of politics, sociology, ethics, theology and religion. Please use this website to find detailed information about our taught programs, research, and up-to-date news and events.
In the popular mind, ecumenism is about unity amongst Christians and dialogue with other religions. In its root meaning ecumenism refers to the Greek oikoumene, the `one inhabited earth.´ At the Irish School of Ecumenics, this root meaning has led us to a deeper and broader conception of ecumenism. It involves understanding the relationships within and between different traditions, and promoting dialogue and peace.
Our Ecumenics programme focuses on three key arenas for dialogue: within the Christian traditions, with other religious traditions, and with others committed to the ethical dimensions of political engagement. At our idyllic Milltown campus, students pursue a rigorous course of studies in these areas.
The new M.Phil. in Intercultural Theology and Interreligious Studies (IT IS) provides and innovative and challenging time of study in an increasingly significant field which has emerged from theological and religious studies scholarship. It seeks to take the concerns that have traditionally been developed in missology and ecumenics and in an interdisciplinary approach, allow course participants from a wide variety of backgrounds, to have a greater understanding of the theoretical and practical issues involved.
