Christian Unity and Fellowship in Light of the Ecumenical Movement

Author(s): Danijel Berković
Subject(s): Christian Theology and Religion
Published by: Biblijski institut

Summary/Abstract: In the beginning of this text author wishes to reflect on the questions of Christian unity and fellowship from the perspectives of biblical texts. From the contemporary context we also face questions of definition and understanding of ecumenism and Ecumenical Movement. There are also those non-theological questions of gender, social class or sexual orientation, which inevitably influence or burden questions of Christian unity and fellowship. In the latter part, the author points to those questions which may be building our Christian unity or work against it. Finally, author uses an imagery of a bird which uses two wings to be able to fly. So is the Church in need of two wings, one institutional and the other the wing of the Spirit. The two wings working in unison, can make the Church ‘fly’ over and beyond all its divisions.
