| | Christian denomination - encyclopedia article about Christian denomination. |
 | | Since Christianity is the largest religion in the world (making approximately one-third of the population), it is necessary to understand the various faith traditions in terms of commonalities and differences between tradition, theology, church government, doctrine, language, and so on. | | | The Christian doctrine of the Trinity states that God is a single being who exists, simultaneously and eternally, as a communion of three Persons: the Father, the Son (the eternal Logos, incarnate as Jesus of Nazareth), and the Holy Spirit. | | | Christianity is a monotheistic religion recognizing Jesus Christ as its founder and central figure. |

| | The New Ecumenism and Christian Witness to Society |
| | That means that it has a high doctrine of scripture, and a long term view of cumulative historical consensus, a Chalcedonian Christology, and a classic ecumenical view of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. | | | We pray for grace to reclaim the ecumenical ministry for the church catholic and from all who have diminished that unity which is grounded in apostolic truth. | | | The new ecumenism has already survived the collapse of Marxism, and is grateful to God for bringing this to pass. |

| | Talk:Christian ecumenism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | These are Christian traditions, or families of churches. | | | I am surprised in an article on Christian Ecumenism that I do not find any reference to ecumenical dialogue, to the models of Church unity that have been promoted, or to the historical efforts at unity. | | | Nor does it do justice to the diversity of views on ecumenism found within each of these traditions. |

| | C.S. Lewis's Views on Christian Unity & Ecumenism |
| | In the meantime, it will be apparent that the man who is most faithful in living the Christian life in his own church is spiritually the closest to the faithful believers in other confessions: because the geography of the spiritual world is very different from that of the physical world. | | | Speaking to thousands of people he said Christians had to return to the unity of the first millennium, before Christianity was split by the east-west schism of the 11th century and the Protestant Reformation of the 16th. | | | As a Christian, I am very much aware that our divisions grieve the Holy Spirit and hold back the work of Christ; as a logician I realize that when two churches affirm opposing positions, these cannot be reconciled. |

| | Purpose Driven Ecumenism |
| | A Christianity that is not based on the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ is not biblical Christianity. | | | However, the ecumenical movement allows for beliefs and ideas that are not scriptural. | | | The world is now poised for a shift to a social spirituality which upholds the core of spiritual values common to all faiths: love, compassion and justice. |

| | Orthodoxy and Ecumenism |
| | Christian unity must not begin with negotiation of Church governances, but with a spiritual unification of Christians, with forming a Christian friendly association, which is possible while also remaining true to one's own creed. | | | The manifestation of the ecumenical unity of the Christian Churches and of the Christian world is in the end only possible in an eschatological atmosphere, only in concentrated meditation about the Second Coming, about the Coming Christ. | | | Protestants are aiming at unity, union of the Christian world, but not at unity of the Church, not at one ecumenical Church. |
