Two other movements with lower profiles are the longstanding ecumenical movement with
special momentum these days in bilateral
dialogues and interfaith settings, and the charismatic - Pentecostal movement now
producing its own systematic works and nurturing large constituencies in its schools and churches.
In the same way that
special scientific and policy - making processes implies a
dialogue between them, the consensus it
produces (it is presupposed) precludes another kind of
dialogue.
