5.0 out of 5 starsA Challenge to all 3 major branches of Christianity
By Gabriel Emanuel Borlean VINE VOICE on January 18, 2006
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
INTRODUCTION:
This tight & short 62 page book presents, the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of the contemporary efforts and history of Christian Ecumenism (Christian Unity, not to be confused with Uniformity, Union, or outside-Christianity Ecumensim).

The honesty expressed "In One Body Through the Cross" is very, very, refreshing.

AUTHORS:
This book is written as a result of 16 theologians (who come from various Christian traditions, confessions, and denominations; but who speak and write freely their ideas without denominational agendas or attached strings) getting together at Princeton University for 3 years, and putting their minds together to talk and discuss the topic of Christian Ecumenism (circa 2000 to 2003).

Robert W. Jenson is the editor and co-author, and is known for being the co-founder of "Center for Catholic and Evangelical Theology."

CONTENT:
The book starts with the modern history of Ecumenism (20th century), then talks about the challenges and difficulties that Christian churches (local, national, and international) have with the topic of Christian Unity (Ecumenism). To me the most valuable info is found in the last two chapters.

The last chapters, outline the forte of each of the 3 main Christian groups: 1) Roman-Catholic 2) Protestantism 3) Eastern-Orthodoxy. It is followed with suggestions of where each group needs to make changes individually. Then the last chapter, looks at Christianity as a whole and spiritual Bible-based advice is given on a very practical level for all Christians to follow.Read more ›

2.0 out of 5 starsNo Future--No Future For You
By Crabby Apple Mick Lee on January 17, 2007
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
In seems this is a generational preoccupation, the ecumenical institutional unity of the Christian Church. There have been endless meetings and drafts of papers on just how the Christian Church (or "Churches", if you will) will put aside centuries of differences and join into one mighty throng to witness to the whole world. As I said, this seems to be a generational thing. Those born before the Korean War seem to take this task as the be all and end all for the Christian Church. On the other hand, it may be simply an enthusiasm of those in the ministry. Those in the trenches-the laymen-take it as a positive sign that Christians of all stripes are more and more civil and friendly toward one another. It is this overwhelming desire to see "the mating of the mammoths" that is out of place and ill considered.

As a baby-boomer Lutheran, I have attended more ecumenical gatherings than I care to remember. Most were great. Some absolutely stunk. Most laymen come away from these experiences with love and respect for our "separated" brothers and sisters-yet deep down we come to know just what we are. I never realized how much of a Lutheran I was until I discussed the faith other Christians. In the end, I am not going to change for them nor will they change just to suit me.

Ecumenists love the quote Jesus petition to the Father in the Garden "that they all be one". I hope it is not mean-spirited to point out that Jesus also asked that "this cup pass" from Him. That request was not granted and it seems evident that "may they be as one" was not granted either. Indeed, a close examination of any proposal to unify all the Christianity usually entails several "someones" ceasing to be what makes them what they are.Read more ›
