Welcome to join this International Ecumenical discussion list!
This forum is created as a wish for an oasis, a soothing resting place in the desert, and a pilgrimage meeting-place without any walls or borders - a place where all the different roads cross.
It’s a place for ecumenical dialogue, for reflecting together about Christian unity. Everyone is invited to share their news, experiences, hopes, ideas, thoughts - and questions. This is a place of openness, sincerity - thus we mustn’t avoid talking about the difficulties that sadly exist - but that’s not the main focus.
The oasis climate is more than anything else one of love and respect, of joy and amazement, and of humility. In this refreshing area we might meet as true brothers and sisters in Christ.
The list will provide a unique chance to meet new friends from all over the world, belonging to all parts of the One Body of Christ - His Church.
Please pass on the news about the list to people you know who might be interested in joining it!
May the Holy Spirit fill us, guide us and keep drawing us to a genuine unity in God!
May this prayer of Jesus be fulfilled one day:
“I pray that they may all be one, Father! May they be in us, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they be one, so that the world will believe that you sent me. I gave them the same glory you gave me, so that they may be one, just as you and I are one: I in them and you in me, so that they may be completely one, in order that the world may know that you sent me and that you love them as you love me.”
John 17:21-23
