Ministry of Presence

"Ecumenism is not only a unity movement and a renewal movement, but it is also a movement for justice and peace - one which claims that the church participates in God's work of shalom not just by what it says (its evangelism), and by what it does (its service), but by what it is (its life as a reconciled people)."   Councils of Churches and the Ecumenical Vision         Diane Kessler          Michael Kinnamon
