| | Ecumenism |
 | | The Baha'i cry for one world religion appeals to the ecumenical spirit of the age, especially in light of the continuing insistence that Baha'is are in perfect harmony with the Christian Faith. | | | Ecumenism's promise of "unity" is tempting, but it denies Christ and paves the way for the Antichrist and his new world religion. | | | We saw the beginning of institutional ecumenism in the 1960's, with The World Council of Churches, mostly liberal mainline Protestant denominations who denied such essential doctrines as the inerrancy of Scripture and a literal, bodily resurrection of Christ. |

| | Ecumenism |
| | Ecumenism is the heresy of heresies, because until now every separate heresy in the history of the Church has striven itself to stand in the place of the true Church, while the ecumenical movement, having united all heresies, invites them all together to honor themselves as the one true Church. | | | This is how an Orthodox priest has served the idea of ecumenism, and this priest has sinned cunningly by a dishonest conception. | | | We are hesitant in determining the causes why representatives of the Church of Constantinople in the ecumenical field of activity, where meetings have been accompanied by joint prayer, have not refused to participate in it. |

| | A notable twentieth-century example would be the late “Presbyterian Bishop” Lesslie Newbigin, a missionary of the (Presbyterian) Church of Scotland who became one of the original bishops in the united Church of South India. | | | But while spurious unity is to be condemned, the lack of unity among churches of Christ which profess the faith in its purity is a patent violation of the unity of the body of Christ, and of that unity which the prayer of our Lord requires us to promote. | | | An excellent ecclesiastical statement is the “Ecumenical Charter” adopted by the Christian Reformed Church in 1987. |

| | Deep Ecumenism |
| | As for the Universalists, by the mid 20th century "A new type of Universalism is proclaimed which shifts the emphasis on universal from salvation to religion and describes Universalism as boundless in scope, as broad as humanity, and as infinite as the universe. | | | The global church community responded with the formation of the World Council of Churches (begun prior to the war, but not completed until after) in the Protestant tradition, and the Vatican II Council in the Catholic tradition, 1962-65. | | | And so the question whose answer makes ecumenism possible or impossible is this: Do you believe that men and women who hold radically different points of view that lead them toward radically different ways of being in the world can be people of conscience and compassion, grounded in the values of their own tradition ? |

| | Revision of the calendars and lectionaries used in our Communions, especially the liturgical provision associated with feasts of Mary, gives evidence of a shared process of re-receiving the scriptural testimony to her place in the faith and life of the Church. | | | In the crucible of these controversies of the first five centuries, and their resolution in successive Ecumenical Councils, reflection on Mary's role in the Incarnation was integral to the articulation of orthodox faith in Jesus Christ, true God and true man. | | | Where this is the case, as with the definition of the Theotókos, both Roman Catholics and Anglicans would agree that the witness of the Church is firmly and constantly to be believed by all the faithful (cf. |

| | A long life during the nineteenth century taught him that not only was it essential to present a united front to the common enemy of secularism, but that the division of Christians was itself a principal cause of secularism. | | | Indeed, he himself actively sought personal conversions when he addressed his Difficulties of Anglicans to his former companions in the Oxford Movement, with the intention of persuading them that the true destination of the Movement was the Catholic Church. | | | And yet, once a Catholic, his ecumenical attitude did not stop him recognizing that he now belonged to "the Church of Christ" and consequently he saw no conflict between ecumenism and personal conversion "since they both proceed from the marvellous ways of God" |

| | CIRED>> CONCERNING ECUMENISM |
| | In the catholic literature (I mean the term to include Roman and Anglo-Catholic), treatments of the Church of the East were typically overcast by the traditional understanding of the Nestorian "heresy" and by the horror of "schism". | | | But for the most part, such efforts had been based on negative evidence (both Protestants and Assyrians repudiated images, did not call the Blessed Virgin Mary "Mother of God", did not acknowledge the Pope, etc.), and they came from people who did not themselves claim to have a high doctrine of the church or sacraments. | | | We may begin with George Percy Badger (1815-88), the first Englishman to write about the Church of the East from real acquaintance, and also the first to make a serious case that its doctrine was not, from a catholic point of view, heretical. |
