Washington Theological Union Symposium Papers
Beginning in the 1990s, the Franciscan Center at the Washington Theological Union, a school for theology and ministry sponsored by several religious communities, held an annual symposium on Franciscan themes. This gathering was designed to interface, at a scholarly level, the major theological themes of the Franciscan tradition with contemporary issues in the Church and society. The first major initiative of CFIT, beginning in 2001, was to underwrite the publication of the proceedings of this annual symposium as the Washington Theological Union Symposium Papers. Before the WTU ceased operations, the Franciscan Center there hosted ten symposia whose proceedings were published by CFIT:
