Pambuyo pa mitu ya "ecumenism of the heart" ndi umodzi kuti uphatikizidwe ndi kukulitsidwa, apa pali liwu loti "ulendo wachipembedzo" womwe ndikufuna kuzamitsa mogwirizana ndi 11 .th Msonkhano wa World Council of Churches (WCC) womwe unachitikira ku Karlsruhe (Germany) September watha.
Mutu wa “ulendo wachipembedzo” unatengedwa ngati chithunzithunzi cha ntchito ya bungwe la WCC, pambuyo pa Msonkhano wawo wa nambala 10 ku Busan, Korea, m’chaka cha 2013. Kuyambira pamenepo, “ulendo wachipembedzo wa Chilungamo ndi Mtendere” wayendera malo ambiri ovutika ndi kupanda chilungamo. Kwa katswiri wa zaumulungu wa tchalitchi cha Orthodox, Fr Ioan Sauca, wogwirizira mlembi wamkulu wa WCC, “chithunzi cha ulendo wachipembedzo chimaimira umunthu wathu. Ndife gulu, osati bungwe lokhazikika. Akhristu oyambirira ankatchedwa ‘anthu apamsewu.’ ( Machitidwe 9:2 )
Paulendo wachipembedzo wa chilungamo ndi mtendere wawonjezeredwa chiyanjanitso ndi umodzi. Izi ndi zomwe chikondi cha Khristu chimatiyitanira, monga mizere yomaliza ya uthenga womaliza wa Msonkhanowu ikunena kuti: “Chikondi cha Khristu, chotseguka kwa anthu onse ... chingatitsogolere paulendo wachilungamo, wachiyanjano ndi umodzi komanso kutipatsa mphamvu. kuchita kudzera mwa iye”. https://www.oikoumene.org/resources/documents/message-of-the-wcc-11th-assembly-a-call-to-act-together
Ulendo wachilungamo ndi mtendere
Msonkhanowu usanachitike, nthumwi za WCC zidayendera mabala amagazi omwe ali padziko lapansi masiku ano, kuphatikiza Ukraine ndi Middle East. Ulendo wa chilungamo ndi mtendere unadutsa "zigwa zamdima" zaumunthu kumene Khristu akutiyembekezera ndipo akutiitana kuti tikwaniritse chikondi chake, monga nyengo ya nyengo, kusowa chilungamo kwachuma, nkhanza kwa amayi, kusalidwa kwa anthu olumala, kuwonongeka kwa atsamunda. ndi kuchotsedwa kwa anthu ammudzi, ndi ena ambiri.
Mphamvu ya Ecumenical Council ndiyonso kupereka mawu kwa osalankhula komanso oiwalika m'ma TV, monga nkhondo yowopsya ku Ethiopia kumene ana a 12 miliyoni ali pachiopsezo cha kufa (Mawu osiyanasiyana pazochitika zamakono angapezeke apa. https://www.oikoumene.org/about-the-wcc/organizational-structure/assembly#speeches-statements
Yesu anakwiyitsidwa ndi chirichonse chimene chimakana ulemu wa munthu, ndipo potsatira chitsogozo chake, Mpingo uyenera kulankhula zoona molimba mtima za kupanda chilungamo kumene kulipo mwa iwo okha ndi m’gulu la anthu ndi kudzipereka ku maubale atsopano. Kuti tikhale atumiki odalirika a chiyanjanitso, mosonkhezeredwa ndi chikondi cha Kristu, tiyenera kuyamba ndi kuvomereza kugwirizana kwathu ndi kupititsa patsogolo kupanda chilungamo.
Ndi “mea culpas” ambiri, kudzichepetsa kunalowa m’moyo wa mapemphero a msonkhanowo. Akristu ochokera m’maiko osakazidwa ndi nkhondo, awo amene akuvutika ndi njala, chisalungamo, masoka anyengo anatha kusonyeza kuzunzika kwawo ndipo madandaulo awo anamvedwa!
Mpingo uyenera kutsutsa mchitidwe wopatula anthu omwe amalimbikitsa kusalana, kusankhana mitundu komanso kudana ndi anthu ochokera kumayiko ena. Chikondi cha Khristu chimatimasula “kuchita chilungamo, kukonda chifundo ndi kuyenda modzichepetsa ndi Mulungu wathu” ( Mika 5 ). Mwanjira imeneyi tidzayenda wina ndi mnzake ku chiyanjanitso ndi umodzi.
Msonkhanowu udaperekanso mawu kwa mboni ndikulingalira njira zenizeni mdera lililonse, monga Ecumenical Disability Advocacy Network. https://www.oikoumene.org/what-we-do/edan ). Pamsonkhano waukulu wokhudza chilungamo, katswiri wazachipembedzo wokonzanso ku Cuba a Dora Arce Valentin adati nkhanza zomwe zimachitikira amayi zapha anthu ambiri kuposa Coronavirus panthawi ya mliri. Kwa Adele Halliday wa tchalitchi cha United Church of Canada, anthu eni eni amene ufulu wawo wawapondereza amangofunika kupepesa komanso kulipidwa. Ndi Khristu, chiyanjanitso ndi chotheka, koma zimatenga nthawi kwa iwo omwe ali m'mphepete mwake.
Samson Waweru Njoki, wa Tchalitchi cha Orthodox ku Kenya, ndi wakhungu. Iye akutsutsa malingaliro olakwika ponena za kulemala: “Aliyense akhoza kuchita bwino chifukwa ali ndi ubongo wofanana. Mulungu analenga anthu monga olenga anzake, kuphatikizapo olumala. Ntchito yathu monga akhristu ndikuwaphatikiza… Koma pamene sitiwona wosowa pafupi ndi ife, ifenso ndi akhungu”.
Jørgen Skov Sørensen, wochokera ku Conference of European Churches, akufunsa momwe nkhondo zimakhalira. Monga Azungu timakonda lingaliro la kupita patsogolo, choncho funsoli ndi lovuta kwa anthu osapembedza. Koma monga akhristu tili ndi yankho: nkhondo ndi yotheka chifukwa tikudziwa kuti ndife osweka. Timacita zoipa zimene sitifuna, monga mmene kalata ya Paulo yopita kwa Aroma, caputala 7, imakamba za pa nthawi yake. Kuyankha kwa Mpingo ku nkhondo iliyonse kuyenera kusonkhezeredwa ndi chikondi cha Khristu. Ndi gulu lapadziko lonse lapansi lolimbikitsana. Ili ndilo tanthauzo lake lokonda la Mpingo.
Ulendo wa Chilungamo ndi Mtendere upitiliza kukhala "njira yolumikizirana". Dzina lake tsopano ndi "Pilgrimage of Justice, Reconciliation and Unity". Ngati sipangakhale mtendere ndi umodzi popanda chilungamo, ndi zoonanso kuti sipangakhale chilungamo popanda chikhululukiro ndi machiritso a mitima kudzera mu chikondi cha Khristu.
Nkhani zonse zomwe mipingo ndi magulu agawikana ziyenera kuthetsedwa mwa mzimu waulendowu. Bungwe la WCC likufuna kuti pakhale “zamulungu za ubale” mozama. (1) Izi ziyenera kuchitidwa makamaka ndi achichepere: kuyenda nawo kukakonzekera, mwachitsanzo, “Ecumenical World Youth Days”, monga mu Tchalitchi cha Katolika (lingaliro la m’busa wa American Reformed Wesley Granberg).
Ulendo wachiyanjano ndi umodzi
Chilungamo ndi nkhani zamtendere nthawi zonse zakhala zikukwera pamisonkhano ya WCC. Masiku ano, nkhani zokhudza nyengo zikuwonjezeredwa. Izi zinaonekeranso pamsonkhano. A Orthodox ndi Akatolika amaona kuti nkhani za umodzi wachikristu sizikugogomezedwa mokwanira. Mgonero wa Ukaristia wathunthu uyenera kukhala cholinga chachikulu cha WCC, iwo amati. Ndipo awo okhudzidwa ndi kulalikira amakhulupirira kuti chirichonse chiyenera kuchititsa kuyankha kwa pemphero la Yesu lakuti: “Kuti akhale amodzi; kuti dziko lapansi likakhulupirire“. Ndipo kuti gawoli silinaganizidwe mokwanira.
Izi miyeso yosiyanasiyana ya Ecumenical Council sayenera kukhazikitsidwa motsutsana wina ndi mzake, koma m'malo mwake, pokumbukira kuti chuma cha gulu la ecumenical chidzatayika ngati tidzitsekera kudera limodzi. Chifukwa chakuti Mwana wamuyaya wa Mulungu anakhala munthu, watenga zonse zenizeni za dziko lathu lapansi. Kukana zenizeni za dziko kukakhala kukana kubadwa kwa thupi. Mfundo yake pasakhale mikangano pakati pa "Faith & Order" ndi "Moyo ndi Ntchito", ngakhale kuti sikophweka kusunga madera awiriwa.
Mafunso a chiphunzitso ndi makhalidwe ayeneranso kukambidwa mu mzimu wa ulendo wa Haji. Amwendamnjira ali ndi nthawi: kusakhalitsa kwawo sikuli kwa anthu, komwe mayankho achangu ayenera kuperekedwa. Mwachitsanzo, pamutu wa kugonana, chikalata chikuyitanira ku "Kukambirana pa Njira Yaulendo: Kuyenda Pamodzi Pankhani Zokhudza Kugonana Kwa Anthu". (2) Ndinatenga nawo mbali mu "zokambirana za ecumenical" ndi "msonkhano" pa mutu wovutawu ndipo ndidzalankhula za izo pambuyo pake.
Pankhani za zaumulungu, Fr Ioan Sauca akuzindikira kuti pali chizolowezi masiku ano chogogomezera zochitika za ecumenism m'malo mwa mapangano okhazikika komanso kuzindikira kuti tikamayenda limodzi timatsogozedwanso kulingalira pamodzi pa mafunso a chikhulupiriro ndi choonadi.
Umu ndi momwe Papa Francisco amamvetsetsa za ecumenism. Pamsonkhano uliwonse, “Gulu Logwira Ntchito Logwirizana” pakati pa Tchalitchi cha Roma Katolika ndi Bungwe la WCC limapereka lipoti lake. Nthawi zonse imayembekezeredwa ndi chidwi ndi "ecumenists". Lipoti la chaka chino lili ndi mutu wakuti “Kuyenda, Kupemphera ndi Kugwirira Ntchito Pamodzi: Ulendo wa Ecumenical Pilgrimage”.

Womalizayo nthawi zambiri amanena kuti: “Chipembedzo chimapangidwa panjira… Umodzi sudzabwera monga chozizwitsa pamapeto pake: umodzi umabwera paulendo; ndi Mzimu Woyera amene amaupanga paulendo”. (4)
Ulendo wopita kumadera akuluakulu
Ulendowu umakhala wokulirapo kuposa watchalitchi chabe. Maumboni awiri anaperekedwa. Pamwambo wamadzulo wokonzedwa ndi mipingo yoitanira anthu, kuyanjananso kwa Franco-Germany kunakambidwa. "Tiyenera kunena nkhani zathu za chiyanjanitso… Chiyankhulo cha Alemannic chimagwirizanitsa Baden, Alsace ndi Switzerland. Koma kuno tonse timalankhula chinenero cha chikondi cha Kristu,” akutero Bishopu Heike Springhart wa Tchalitchi cha Baden-Württemberg. “Ngati panali kuyanjana pakati pa Ajeremani ndi Afalansa pambuyo pa nkhondoyo, pali chiyembekezo kwa anthu a ku Russia ndi a ku Ukraine pamene mfuti zakhala chete,” akuwonjezera motero pulezidenti wa Union of Protestant Churches ku Alsace ndi Lorraine.
Umboni wachiwiri unachokera kwa Azza Karam wodabwitsa, Mlembi Wamkulu wa Zipembedzo za Mtendere, yemwe adalandira chisangalalo chokhacho pa msonkhano. Malinga ndi iye, andale ali ndi udindo waukulu, koma atsogoleri achipembedzo ali ndi mavuto aakulu. Iye angafune kugwada, ngati akanatha, kufunsa funso lakuti: “Kodi chikondi cha Kristu chiri kwa Akristu okha? Ndikukhulupirira kuti chikondi chake chilinso kwa ine, Msilamu. Kugwirizana pakati pa Akhristu sikokwanira. Dziko lathuli ndi lalikulu kwambiri ndipo likuyenera kukondedwa ndi Khristu”!
Kenako akupempha msonkhanowo kuti ugwire ntchito osati kulimbikitsa umodzi pakati pa Akristu komanso pakati pa onse. Amayitana msonkhanowo kuti ukhale chikumbumtima cha ndale ndikumenyana ndi malingaliro onse odzikweza, kusalidwa komanso lingaliro lakuti nkhondo ndi njira yoyenera.
William Wilson, pulezidenti wa Pentecostal World Fellowship, amakhulupirira kuti mgwirizano uyenera kukhazikika mu ubale wathu ndi wina ndi mzake ndiyeno mu ntchito yathu yochitira umboni za chiyanjanitso mwa Khristu. Monga wothandizana nawo pa ntchito ya matchalitchi a JC2033, ndinasangalala kuti anaitana msonkhanowo kuti ukumbukire za 2033. “M’chaka chimenecho tidzakondwerera zaka 2000 za Kuukitsidwa kwa Khristu. Kodi tingagawane chikondi cha Khristu pamodzi? Tiyeni tipange zaka khumi zikubwerazi kukhala zaka khumi za chiyanjanitso”! Atatha kulankhula, tinakhala ndi alendo ochuluka odzabwera ku malo athu! https://jc2033.org/en
Tisasiye kuyenda m’njira zimenezi kumene Woukitsidwayo amatitsogolera. Uku ndi kuchonderera kwa Ruth Mathen, nthumwi ya Malankara Syrian Orthodox Church (India), amene akunena kuti chofunika kwambiri ndi “metanoia” (kusintha maganizo). Sitifunikira kumvetsetsa zambiri, chifukwa timadziwa mokwanira. Tiyenera kuchita nawo chifundo chakuya cha Khristu. Kulankhula kokwanira, tiyeni tichite!
Pomaliza, ndikufuna kunena mawu oyamba a Ulamuliro wa St. Ndipo tipatse malo aakulu kwa Woukitsidwayo pakati pathu polandirana wina ndi mzake! Ndi iye amene adzatiunikira, kutigwirizanitsa ndi kutitumiza kudziko lino lomwe likusowa chiyanjanitso ndi umodzi. Izi ndi zomwe ulendo wodutsa m'zigwa zamdima umandilimbikitsa.
