Beschreibung
Unity is not a marginal or optional concern for the Church. It constitutes the central mystery of all being and of all existences. It is the mystery of all being, because it is the mystery of Gods own being as Three in One (1 John 5: 7). And Christs great high priestly prayer is that all may be one on the pattern of the Fathers unity with the Son (John 17:21). The word 'ecumenical movement' is virtually treated as one word but it may not be out of place if there is a separate explanation of the words 'ecumenical' and 'movement'. We will begin with the explanation of the word 'movement.' Movement is a popular word that conveys a continued activity, vision, transformation and progress. It is not a biblical or a theological term. A movement is a conglomeration of individuals within the larger whole who for a specific; objective and goal are motivated to bring about transformation in the larger whole. Members share the same concerns and espouse a common ideology.
