PUBLISHING PROJECT IN REPLY TO THE POPE'S CALL
FOR A YEAR OF REFLECTION ON AMORIS LAETITIA
Thinking Globally and
Responding Locally
in the Church:
Common Ground and Diversities
in the Reception of Amoris laetitia
In the past, the conversation around AL has been predominantly on “Roman”, European terms. INTAMS seeks to remedy that by starting a broader, worldwide conversation, through a two-part publishing project on Global Perspectives on Amoris laetitia, 2016-2024:
Marriage, Families & Spirituality, vol. 30/1 (2024)
special theme issue
Interchurch Marriage and Ecumenism
Are differences of faith, like that between a Catholic and another Christian, insuperable obstacles to marital union?
This has long been argued. Today, however, cross-denominational couples are very common. We find that two people from different Christian denominations, each committed to their own tradition, can forge a productive marriage.
The articles in this issue argue that these interchurch marriages can not only be good for the couple but can also be helpful in the ecumenical quest for Christian unity. The authors explore perceptions, legislation, and possibilities presented by these couples. In our pluralistic societies. The church would do well to turn to the resources these couples can bring to prolonging a unified Christian witness to the world.

Challenges for the Church in the field of Marriage and Families
24/01/2024
Marriage, Families & Spirituality, vol. 29/2 (2023). insightful contributions to the Challenges for the Church in the field of Marriage and Families. With Pope Francis a new spirit has emerged in the Catholic Church after a long period of deadlock and lethary. Retrieving the often neglected or even ignored seeds of Vatican II and settling essential issues which have not yet been addressed are some of his main tasks. Questions of ecclesiology, especially the concept and structure of the Church in its theological and practical applications, are certainly of prime importance. But items of marriage and sexuality are no less on the agenda. The articles of this issue, at first sight a compilation of loose papers, can be read in this context: they provide modest, but helpful, contributions to the challenges which the Church is facing.
