ArticleThe 2007 Annual Colloquium and General Meeting of the Academy of Catholic Hispanic Theologians of the United States focused on the theme, “Building a Latino/a Ecumenical Theology: Protestant and Catholic Theological Perspectives on some Significant Issues.” Not content simply to rehearse the usual themes of ecumenical dialogue around issues about which Christians of different denominations agree or disagree, this gathering of Latina/o Roman Catholic and Protestant scholars worked together in dialogue with each other to craft a Latino/a ecumenical theology.

Nanko-Fernández Catholic Theological Grace and Justification: How Can We Shape Soteriology and Theological Anthropology a la A curious coincidence of two events set in motion the thinking that now finds expression for your consideration in this essay, with its deliberately ambiguous title, "Good Fences and Good Neighbors? Biblical Scholars and Theologians." First came the American Academy of Religion (AAR) Board of Directors’ self-proclaimed "historic decision" "to hold stand-alone AAR Annual Meetings beginning in 2008." That is, as of 2008 the AAR will to discontinue the practice, begun in 1970, of holding its annual meeting jointly with the Society of Biblical Literature (SBL). The AAR Board explained, "While the AAR has enjoyed a long and beneficial relationship with the SBL, which has included joint and/or concurrent annual meetings, the Board’s decision comes primarily out of the recognition that the identities and missions of the two associations are distinct and different and that the current structure of the annual meetings has become unwieldy. We have decided that independent annual meetings will best serve AAR’s mission." The Board expressed its view that this decision "seems to us the best way to serve the Academy and its members, to clarify the Academy’s identity vis-à-vis the other societies and in relation to the wider American [sic] academic environment, and to foster the ongoing diversity, intellectual richness, and vitality of the AAR."
