Ethan LonghenryFor over the past century, many among various #Christian #denominations have attempted to work for unity in what is called the #ecumenical movement, or ecumenicalism.
They strive to find the points on which they can all agree and emphasize those.
While such might be commendable, the various groups and people involved remain quite divided in terms of many aspects of Christian faith and practice.
#Ecumenicalism seems to be declaring victory in defeat.

What is the #ecumenical movement, or #ecumenism / #ecumenicalism, all about?
What is commendable about ecumenicalism?
Has ecumenicalism led to the kind of unity for which Jesus prayed?

RevDrMatthewFox#LornaByrne, who has seen #angels in her life from the age of two years old, says she sees angels praying on people's shoulders, whether she visits a #mosque or #synagogue or #church or talks to #atheists. Angels are #ecumenical —and so is #holiness. #EverydaySaints https://bit.ly/4mv0UCo

"This year marks 20th year for the Fuller Center for Housing and 17th year for the Center’s Bicycle Adventure ride, but first time the trip came through #Salinas Valley, as #BigSur highway closures meant an inland detour was necessary….St. Mark’s Episcopal Church provided overnight shelter for the group so they could get rest and eat in #KingCity."

“'These farmlands are fascinating, and I will never look at a jar of strawberry preserves [the same] again,” said Andy Simpson, who... had never before seen #agriculture on the scale of #MontereyCounty fields. 'The wonderful workers doing this are amazing.’

"“When you ride a bike across country and stay in #churches, you live a very simple existence,’ Asmuth said. “You realize how little in life you need to be truly content.’"

Mal 🇿🇦🏳️🌈🇮🇪🏳️⚧️🇸🇪Goodness, what do I know about my #family history, that can be recapitulated in readable toots?
We're a mostly non-religious #Protestant Irish family - #ChurchOfIreland - with main roots in what's now the #RepublicofIreland.
Non-religious we may be, but my Grandad (mother's father), Brian Snow, was a #CoI archdeacon working mainly in the west of #Ireland. He came to his vocation in his forties. He was quite high-church, and extremely #ecumenical, and that was much appreciated by his #Catholic neighbours and friends. He specialised in pastoral work - helping families with problems, visiting the sick and elderly, and so on. I remember being blessed by him at a service when I was a child, kneeling at the altar after communion. I'm not a member of the church, and I was too young to take communion in any case. But mainly I remember buzzing around County #Limerick with him in his Ford Fiesta, visiting people and being given cups of tea and biscuits by his parishioners.
