Greetings! I
hope everyone reading this is doing well. Summer has begun here in South
Florida, and it is a hot and muggy one thus far. I know many people who live further
north of us usually look forward to summer because they are a little tired of
the cold at this point. However, I think it is just the opposite with some of
us down here. We like our cold season because the weather is just right at that
time. Anyhow, allow me to roll right into what I wanted to share with relevance
to ecumenism.
I started
this blog on ecumenism a little over seven years ago. One of the things I have
learned since then is that for some reason the subject does not seem to be all
that popular, although it should be. Jesus did supposedly "pray that they
may all be one…." I don’t really want to over do it, but sometimes I feel
like taking a hiatus, and not post anything on here for a while, but I am not
certain that’s a good idea because it is worth posting even if only one person
is reached. The article I am sharing in this post seems to share my feelings on
this just a bit. It is titled: Christian unity still a work in progress.
The following excerpt is from it.
Temmerman’s theological studies concentrated on the
experience of inter-church couples. His studies and his experience have made
him deeply committed to ecumenism.
“It will be people on the margins of the Church, in this and
other ways, who will point the way for the churches on the path to unity,”
Temmerman said. “Not by writing learned theological treatises, but by living
the unity which is forming in their lives.”
