MASS MEDIA: EUROPEAN CHURCHES, “WITHOUT COMMUNICATION, ECUMENISM WOULD COLLAPSE”

” “Taking the floor at the meeting that is under way in Geneva, the secretary general of Kek (Conference of European Churches), Colin Williams, said: "yes, ecumenism is communicative, but we must confide in the fact we have good stories to tell, because by its very nature the Church lives among the people and voices people’s expectations”. The problem – went on Williams – is rather "institutional ecumenism, where it is difficult to balance communication between the efforts made by the Churches to mediate between different interests and the call to be prophetical”. “Any relation – said Martin Robra, director of the ecumenical program at Wcc – needs to communicate, and ecumenism, that is, the dialogue between the Churches, depend on communication too. Without communication, ecumenism would collapse”. ” “
