	The Orthodox in the Ecumenical Movement:
		It should be stressed, however, that although the term "Ecumenical Movement" was used for the first time in the 1920's in order to define this encouraging development in inter-church relations, the idea of ecumenism per se, is not a recent development in the life of the Church.
		It was frequently remarked that modern ecumenism emerged from within the Protestant world, as the outcome of its internal situation and in an endeavour to seek solutions to the existing problems confronting the Churches of the Reformation in their daily life and witness.
		Hence, consistent with the decades-old ecumenical policy of their Churches, the Orthodox delegates reiterated in the afore- mentioned document the unflagging Orthodox position that the main aim of the WCC should be the restoration of Christian unity, understood as full ecclesial unity in doctrinal teaching, sacramental life and polity.

		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.
		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.

	The Ecumenical Movement - RELST151 - Fears (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Ecumenical Movement: the process toward a greater expression of unity and cooperation among all Christians.
		It was an ecumenical council of the Roman Catholic Church in that it was constituted by the hierarchy from all parts of the world, but observers from other Churches were invited to attend, giving it also a character to some degree ecumenical in the interconfessional sense, though only Catholics were full participants.
		The ecumenical movement has been expressed also in a number of denominational mergers, including the United Church of Canada (1925), the Church of South India (1947), and in the U.S. the United Church of Christ (1957) and the United Methodist Church (1968).

	Worship in the World Council of Churches (WCC): the tradition of "ecumenical worship" in light of recent Orthodox ...
		Ecumenical commitment was mandated by the ecumenical nature of the liturgical tradition itself, by a conviction that the liturgical tradition is a major component of The Tradition of the one church.”
		In fact, the call for re-confessionalization of ecumenical worship exposes the fact that there is a living tradition of worship, indigenous to the ecumenical movement, which is deserving of articulation and apology.
		It is certainly the case that the ecumenical movement has developed a worship tradition, a body of prayers, a hymnody, a collective memory, based on its own experience of Christ in the midst.

	The Orthodox Church and the Ecumenical Movement
		The Ecumenical Movement has its roots in the frustration of European Christians who were fed up with their history of nationalistic goals and wars which were all too often fought in the name of God.
		The resultant Ecumenical Movement is predominantly a Protestant fabrication, since neither the Roman Catholic nor the Orthodox Churches could ever have recognized their breakaway ecclesiological entities as having remained faithful to the original dogmas and teachings.
		This is probably a fair description, because the Protestant-led Ecumenical Movement is an eclectic blending of disparate denominations and confessions, most of which express—indeed embrace—one form or another of the heresies combated historically by the Orthodox Church through its Ecumenical Councils.

	A Reformed Perspective on the Ecumenical Movement
		The challenge of the ecumenical movement, then, must be to enter into a persistent, loving, patient, and honest engagement with all those who preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and administer the sacraments, seeking visible unity.
		Ecumenical commitments have multiplied just as churches all around the world, including the European and American churches, which have heavily supported ecumenical institutions, are experiencing fiscal strictures, making participation more burdensome than formerly.
		Local ecumenism serves as a model where congregations can become involved, feel the strength of genuine participation, see significant change in their own congregational life, and then also be better able to conceive of the significance of worldwide ecumenism.

	Ecumenism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Influenced by the ecumenical movement, the "scandal of separation" and local developments, a number of United and Uniting churches have formed; there are also a range of mutual recognition strategies being practised where formal union is not feasible.
		In addition, many Evangelical and Charismatic Christians view ecumenism as a sign of end times apostasy before Jesus Christ's return as prophesied in the Bible, and see substantial similarities between the doctrinal stance of end-times false teachers, as described in 2 Peter 2:1-2, and the theological pronouncements of certain leaders of ecumenical movements.
		In fact, opposition to ecumenism is closely associated with antagonism, in the case of Traditionalist Catholics, to abandonment of Latin in the celebration of Mass, and, in the case of Greek Old Calendarists (who speak of "the arch-heresy of ecumenism"), to abandonment of the Julian calendar.

	The Ecumenical Movement
		The 'ecumenical' movement is suggesting 'unity' through an agreement to collaborate on the efforts of many faiths to solve the earth's problems.
		The ecumenical brain stormers concentrated their energies to restore unity by finding common commitments, but this does not bring the sinner into the experience of redemption through Jesus Christ, and the sinner does not find the haven of rest that is in Christ only.
		You who are tired of reform and ecumenical unity that does not restore the apostate church, come for your doctrinal cleansing and be renewed in the spirit of your mind as Christ provides your cleansing and restores you to the priesthood as a true believer.

	The Ecumenical Movement - Biblical?
		Ecumenism is the desire of some within a few Christian denominations to achieve some sort of instituitional 'oneness'.
		The ecumenical movement seeks to cast aside centuries of decisions made by imperfect but God-fearing men and women in order to achieve a 'oneness' which would be purely cosmetic, that is, a oneness which would be 'for appearances only'.
		It is also interesting how ecumenical types mostly just represent the two or three largest denominations and seek greater influence, power and control for their own group by negotiation.

	ECUMENICAL MOVEMENT FOR UNITY
		Ecumenism calls for renewal of attitudes and for flexibility of methods in the search for unity....Consequently, ecumenical formation requires a pedagogy that is adapted to the concrete situation of the life of persons and groups, and which respects the need for gradualness in an effort of continual renewal and of change in attitudes.
		Ecumenical activity "has to be fully and sincerely Catholic, that is, faithful to the truth we have received from the Apostles and the Fathers and consonant with the faith the Catholic Church has always professed".

	Is ecumenism Biblical? Should a Christian be involved in the ecumenical movement?
		Biblical Christians are usually marked by a strong pro-life belief, a strong traditional view of the family, a strong emphasis on compassion for the homeless and sick, and a strong desire to see justice in the world.
		Regarding ecumenical ventures, we need to ask ourselves whether or not these goals are being pursued.
		As we contemplate ecumenical ventures within our society, we need to make sure that the venture is one in which God’s kingdom is expanded through pursuing the lost with the gospel, be they practicing immorality, abortion-rights activists, homeless, drug-abusers, criminals, etc.
