During the pilgrimage stations, four central themes have emerged, each raised in different ways by the diverse hosting communities, yet establishing themselves little by little as interpretative keys and pointing to a common agenda for the ecumenical Pilgrimage of Justice and Peace: 1. Truth and Trauma 2. Land and Displacement 3. Gender Justice 4. Racism Due to the devastating global effects of the COVID-19 pandemic that revealed so much injustice in our world, in all our communities, and within the ecumenical community, a fifth theme was added; health and healing. At each station of our pilgrimage, the PJP-RG and the PJP-RG— after listening carefully—revisited the themes and reflected on them theologically in light of an emerging Ecumenical Theology of Companionship. This document—composed by the “pilgrims” in dialogue with the communities—presents these findings and reflections for broader sharing in the global ecumenical fellowship.1 online resource (101 pages)eng2022 WCC Publications & Globethics.nethttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Pilgrimage of Justice and Peace (PJP)World Council of Churches (WCC)Peace ethicsEcumenical MovementWorld Council of ChurchesEcumenical theology, spirituality, worshipPractical theologyTowards an ecumenical theology of companionship : a study document for the ecumenical pilgrimage of justice and peaceBook
