Organizacje ekumeniczne wobec współczesnych prześladowań chrześcijan
Ecumenical Organisations to Modern Persecution of Christians

Summary/Abstract: In the face of increasing persecutions of Christians in the world, the question of ecumenical attitude towards this phenomenon becomes more and more legitimate. Ecumenism – both in its essence as well as in the method of interaction – forms the basis for Christian education platform to oppose discrimination of Christians. According to many observers, the institutional ecumenical movement employs their potential not sufficiently enough. The place of great ecumenical institutions is occupied by small, created in most of the cases on down-the-roots basis, organisations which in many ways carry aid to the persecuted Christians. The present article introduces the topic of the persecution of Christians, tends to outline the ambivalent attitude of the World Council of Churches, recognised as the institutional representative of the ecumenical movement, towards this problem and introduces the examples of grassroots ecumenical organisations: The Voice of the Martyrs and Open Doors.
