The North American Academy of Ecumenists is a scholarly and professional community of those actively involved in realizing the unity of Christ's church through their teaching, research, ecclesiastic work, and common witness.
If your vocation has a focus in ecumenism for the sake of Christian unity, we invite you to join this community. We span the continuum of Christian religious affiliation with charity in all things, respect for each other's convictions and commitments, and hope for the day of fully embracing each other in the fellowship of the Triune God.
The goal of the North American Academy of Ecumenists is to inform, relate, and encourage men and women whose profession or ministry in the church involves them in ecumenical activities and studies. Its unique contribution is to provide ecumenists with an open structure for exploring issues too important to be left exclusively to official ecumenical agencies and projects.
Founded in 1957, the Academy meets annually in September. Its conferences are professional and scholarly in substance and informal in style.
The membership of the Academy includes ecumenically active clergy and laity as well as professors and students. It is an Academy by virtue of the concern members share for the theological reflection and scholarship that must accompany the movement toward mutual religious understanding and the unity of Christian church bodies.
The Academy is affiliated with the Journal of Ecumenical Studies (JES). NAAE membership includes a subscription to the JES. Note: NAAE Membership runs from June 1 - May 31; the JES subscription is entered for the year that begins in January of your membership.
Membership fees are regularly $60. For students, retirees, and the religious with limited income, the membership rate is $30.
The Academy is led by a twenty-one member board which plans the annual conference. Attendance at the conference is open to all who are interested in discussing the proposed theme.
