A word about each.<!--more|inline--><br \/>\n<strong>Vatican II<\/strong>: David Wells, in the aftermath of V2, saw major changes in revelation, relation of the natural and supernatural, salvation, doctrines of the Church, papal authority &#8230; making obsolete many contemporary Protestant analyses of Rome. V2 created the need for Protestants to reevaluate their entire apologetical and polemcial frameworks with respect to the RCC.<br \/>\n<strong>World Christianity<\/strong>: the global growth of the Church led to tolerance in non-threatening areas. Ecumenical breakthroughs occurred where the danger of assimilation was not a threat. Worship styles helped along with evangelical youth movements. Discovery of GK Chesterton, JRR Tolkien, etc.. Each played a part.<br \/>\n<strong>American Politics and Society<\/strong>: JF Kennedy. &#8220;Ecumenism of the trenches&#8221; (T. George) where evangelicals and Catholics have worked side by side. JP2 and the demise of dictatorial rule in Poland (previously, American Prots thought Catholics supported dictators). Cultural wars over sex, self-defense, and economy have drawn RCs to evangelical Protestants.<br \/>\n<strong>Personal Agency<\/strong>: decisive influence from charismatic individuals and the Vatican&#8217;s reaching out to all sorts.<br \/>\n<strong>Changes within Evangelicalism<\/strong>: Tom Howard&#8217;s conversion to RC from being an evangelical at Gordon College is but one example of many who have converted (Noll-Nystrom mention my article here favorably; you can find it on the Sidebar: &#8220;From Wheaton to Rome&#8221;).<br \/>\nThese five changes have led to a major shift in relationships between RCs and Evangelical Protestants &#8212; without denying differences, many of the old edges are gone and many old debates have been settled.<br \/>\nTomorrow: Ecumenical Dialogues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Noll and Nystrom, in their Is the Reformation Over?, chp 3, see the shifts that occurred in the 1950s to concern four, yea five, things: changes within the Catholic Church, in world Christianity, in American politics and society, in the exercise of personal agency, and within evangelicalism.
