Abstract
"Veni, Creator Spiritus! Come, Holy Spirit, renew your whole creation! There have been numerous reform movements throughout the history of Christianity. Such reform movements are best understood as responses to a discernment of the movement of the Holy Spirit. This is expressed in the ancient prayer for the transformative work of God’s Spirit: Veni, Creator Spiritus! In different periods in history and in particular places such reform movements have been prompted by distinct challenges, concerns and needs. This is illustrated by the various 16th century reformations but also by the Benedictine and Franciscan reformations, alongside many others. The 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation which is expected to be celebrated with thousands of international guests as a world ecumenical event in 2017 is an occasion to think about what is demanded from an “ecclesia semper reformanda” in giving witness to what the triune God is doing in the world today." Resources and Best Practice Models for Ecotheology, Climate Justice and Food Security, held at the Academy of Volos, Demetriades Diocese of Church of Greece, 10-13 March, 2016
