Abstrakt

Od Jezusa Chrystusa do ochrony przyrody. Rozwój czy degeneracja ruchu ekumenicznego?

Artykuł omawia zagadnienie ewolucji tematów podejmowanych w ruchu ekumenicznym. W swoich początkach dyskurs ekumeniczny był zdominowany przez kwestie doktrynalne. Tymczasem obecnie na jego czoło wysuwają się problemy społeczne, polityczne i etyczne. Ukazuje to bogactwo Ewangelii, w której wierzący może odnaleźć odpowiedzi na pytania dotyczące jego codziennego życia. Zarazem jednak ekumenizm znajduje się tutaj w niebezpieczeństwie zapomnienia o swoim zasadniczym celu. Artykuł zmierza do wniosku, że ekumenizm powinien wprawdzie włączać się w aktualną debatę społeczną i etyczną, jednak dla zachowania własnej tożsamości winien stale skupiać się na Ewangelii Jezusa Chrystusa jako na swoim ostatecznym kryterium.
