From Jesus Christ to “green issues”. Development or degeneration of the ecumenical movement?

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the issue of the evolution of subjects in the ecumenical movement. At the beginning the ecumenical discourse was dominated by doctrinal issues, whereas today social, political and ethical themes stand at its forefront. This demonstrates the richness of the Gospel, in which a believer can find responses to questions about his or her everyday life; on the other hand, ecumenism is here in danger of forgetting its primary purpose. The article ends with a conclusion that ecumenism should be involved in the current social and ethical debates, but to preserve its identity it should focus on the Gospel of Jesus as the ultimate criterion.
