The article discusses the post-denominational self-understanding and engagement of the World Alliance of Reformed Churches (WARC) in the ecumenical movement of the 1960s. It cites the history of the theological dialogue between the WARC and the Roman Catholic Church, which originated from the Third Assembly of the World Council of Churches in New Delhi, India in November-December 1961. It also cites the opinion of Dutch theologian Hendrikus Berkhof concerning the dialogues between the WARC and the Roman Catholic Church.

A few years ago J. L. Segundo, discussing signs of the alienation of theology in Latin America, could point with some reason to the fact that the theme of violence was entirely absent from theological work.

What we ofer here are some disconnected points for reflection, which are intended to put the issue in theological perspective. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
