I think there is a growing movem...Great piece Kim!<br /><br />I think there is a growing movement right now that feels almost palpable for ecumenical developments in the next decade or two.<br /><br />Many Christians want to be united and be as the apostles were.<br /><br />I think that attitude of "I am right and everyone else is just not very well informed" has pretty much disappeared with everyone seeing how incredible rich the different theological and liturgical traditions are. Witnessing the earnest character of a lot of these communities for witnessing to Gods love also does something to the hard heart.<br /><br />I think there is a yearning for unity in which a drawing out of the content of the gospel and christian tradition can be done in one Church rather than having to start a new denomination every time.<br /><br />It will take time but with Theologians like Barth reworking ideas on election and more people being exposed to the empirical theology of the east (Starting with theoria) I think more and more there will be an amazement about just how great theology and the study of orthodoxy is and will be something we rejoice in and not something we let divide us.<br /><br />Plus I think most Christians now want to get back to focusing on the poor and those alienated and not trash the other as a heretic and willfully promoting evil lol<br /><br />https://thesmilingpilgrim.wordpress.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
