Summary/Abstract: Ecumenism aims at the realization of a dialogue between all Christians in the wide and diverse world – to eliminate enmity between Christians of different confessions, to strengthen peace and understanding, to overcome disagreements, to triumph in mutual trust. Strengthening the role of churches in seeking and realizing peace in the world, as violence against unarmed and innocent civilians for political or religious purposes by state or non-state perpetrators cannot be justified in any legal, theological or ethical way.
