Ut Unum Sint

The United Christian Way --

In our world today, I personally believe that Christians of all denominations must stand together, in common witness, if we are to preserve the noble values that we all cherish as Christians and as citizens of the nations of the free world. Ecumenism, in order for it to grow, must first take root here at the very soil of our Christian faith - in our hearts. We must, being the whole of Christendom, find our common ground that we may be able to stand firmly behind our common causes to life, love, liberty, peace and goodwill for all mankind.

- From the spirit of the Encyclical, Ut Unum Sint - "That All May Be One", of Pope John Paul II on Christian Commitment to Ecumenism.
