Uthando luwusimende we-ecumenism
Akukona nje ukuqondana ukuthi uJohane 17 wakhethwa njengombhalo oyinhloko.

Futhi uthando luwusimende we-ecumenism!
Ukuze Catherine Shirk Lukas, uprofesa eNyuvesi YamaKatolika yaseParis, inhlangano yamasonto iyinhlangano yothando ngoba uJesu wathandazela ukuba uthando lwaphezulu lusakazwe emhlabeni wonke ( Johane 3.16:XNUMX ). “Ukuze umhlaba wazi”: lesi sithembiso ngesokuqala futhi esiyinhloko salabo abaye baba izisulu zobudlova nokuhlukunyezwa. “Kufanele sibalalele, sibabone futhi sibasekele, sizithobe futhi siphenduke emaphutheni ethu.”
OwaseGhana Gertrude Fefoame ubandakanyeka kunethiwekhi yabakhubazekile yoMkhandlu Wamabandla Womhlaba. Naye uqobo uyimpumputhe futhi uyafakaza ukuthi kusenezithiyo eziningi zokubemukela emphakathini: “Intethelelo nokuphulukiswa okunikezwa nguKristu kuyinkululeko. Ikhulula kulo lonke ubandlululo futhi ihlanganisa nabantu abakhubazekile.”

Bengicabanga ukuthi amaPentecostal kuphela asindisiwe. Lapho ngizwa amaKristu akwamanye amasonto ehlanganyela ukholo lwawo eSigcawini, ngacela uNkulunkulu ukuba angithethelele ukungazi kwami. Ngathola abafowethu nodadewethu nokuthi ngangiphuthelwa iminyaka engu-2000 yefa lobuKristu. Bekuyinguquko entsha.”
Ngokunjalo, umholi weBandla elizimele lase-Afrika wathola ukunotha kokulalela izindaba zokholo. “Ngabona ukuthi sinokholo olufanayo kuKristu. Uma siqala ukulalelana, sizothandana futhi sikunqobe ukuhlukana kwethu.”
Indlela yokusebenza yesiGungu iphinde ihlanganise izethulo nezikhathi zezingxoxo phakathi kwabantu abayisithupha kuya kwabayisishiyagalombili etafuleni. Lokhu "ukunitha" kuphumelela kakhulu ukuze uzazi kangcono ezingeni lomuntu siqu. Ngakho samenywa ukuba sihlanganyele kule mibuzo emithathu: “Yini ofuna ukuba izwe lazi? Wamazi kanjani uKristu? Umazisa kanjani uKristu? » Futhi, ekupheleni komhlangano, lo omunye umbuzo: “Yikuphi ukukhuthazwa osukutholile phakathi nalezi zinsuku futhi ongathanda ukukudlulisela ekhaya lakho”
