The Ecumenical Movement refers to efforts aimed at promoting unity among various Christian denominations and churches, seeking to transcend doctrinal differences to achieve a common understanding and fellowship in Christ. While the term "Ecumenical Movement" itself does not appear in the Bible, the underlying principles of unity and reconciliation among believers are rooted in Scripture. For instance, Jesus' prayer in John 17:21 emphasizes the desire for His followers to be one, just as He and the Father are one: "that they all may be one, just as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You, that they also may be one in Us."The Apostle Paul also addresses the theme of unity in the body of Christ in passages like Ephesians 4:4-6, where he calls for the church to be united in the Spirit, emphasizing that there is "one body and one Spirit." This scriptural foundation undergirds the Ecumenical Movement's goal of fostering collaboration and understanding among different Christian traditions, reflecting a commitment to the biblical call for unity in the faith while recognizing the diversity of expressions within the broader Christian community.
