This 3-5 day annual program of ecumenical education and networking is an opportunity for training and continuing education in the area of current ecumenical events, documents, dialogues, and projects both international and local. Each year there will be a component of formation for those newly arrived in ecumenism, a component of networking and sharing news and views from across Canada, and a component of continuing education. It has been hosted by various communities across Canada, in liaison with the Prairie Centre for Ecumenism and the Canadian Centre for Ecumenism.

The Institute is open to participants from across Canada and around the world. The Ecumenical Institute is attended by ecumenical officers, church leaders, and lay people concerned about ecumenical issues. Normally 3 days in length, the Institute explores a variety of themes related to contemporary church life. Each theme is explored in such a way as to seek insights into the nature and practice of Christian unity.
