“I think the next step for Anglican-Roman Catholic relations on the ground is what's called
Receptive Ecumenism
”
– Archbishop David Moxon
'The buzzword being used by experts in different countries is
Receptive Ecumenism
”
“After 20 years spent in ecumenical work in the UK, [Archbishop Bernard Longley] hopes the receptive ecumenism model may just provide a breakthrough at this international level”
“In considering the method that ARCIC III will use, the Commission was particularly helped by the approach of ‘receptive ecumenism’, which seeks to make ecumenical progress by learning from our partner, rather than simply asking our partner to learn from us
. Receptive ecumenism is more about self-examination and inner conversion than convincing the other; Anglicans and Roman Catholics can help each other grow in faith, life and witness to Christ if they are open to being transformed by God’s grace mediated through each other. ARCIC is committed to modelling the receptive ecumenism it advocates”

Receptive Ecumenism praised at Rome’s Anglican Centre
“Receptive ecumenism applied here would help the various standpoints understand one another.”
– Celia Blackden
National Catholic Register
“In the ordinariate, the Pope is showing, if in a small way, that the Church of Christ can be diverse, providing there is a common faith and all members are in full communion. I think it is a small experiment in receptive ecumenism” – Msgr Keith Newton
“The establishment of personal ordinariates is a great move forward in the understanding of each tradition — Anglican and Catholic — within the undivided Tradition of the Catholic Church,"
he told the Register. "It is an embodiment of the idea of receptive ecumenism. Our hope is that the ordinariate in the U.K. will enable a greater understanding of Anglicanism within the Catholic Church and a greater sense of the need for full communion with the universal Church within the life of the Church of England” – Father James Bradley
Roman Catholic Diocese of Shrewsbury
“Receptive Ecumenism Process pioneered by the Catholic Studies Centre at Durham University has produced much fruit as had Cardinal Kasper’s call for a renewed ‘spiritual ecumenism’”.
