Introduction:
A divided Christianity is a scandal to the world and the movement of the
Holy Spirit calls for the restoration of unity. Underlying the Catholic Church’s pursuit
of ecumenism is the recognition that despite the separation, elements of the
Church can exist outside the visible boundaries of the Catholic Church.
The varied topographical settings in an archipelagic country like the
Philippines, from the shorelines and planes to the high mountain ranges,
farmlands, and urban high-rise buildings, reflect the plethora of challenges and
struggles that these communities have faced over the centuries. The worsening
state of human rights, armed conflict, poverty, social inequality, genuine agrarian
reform, marginalization of women, children, and youth, Indigenous peoples'
struggle for self-determination and protection of ancestral land, corruption, and
the calamities faced by communities as a result of environmental degradation
are just a few of the issues that continue to confront the country and its people.
Despite society's dark and hopeless situations, ecumenism offers a source
of hope for the struggling masses. As churches come together in faith and action,
they join the people in their longing for God's promised abundant life for all. In this

archipelagic country, ecumenism reaches far more than the gathering of
churches for prayer and fellowship. It is a constant process of reflection and action
that seeks to enhance the lives of people in the community, and it requires a
strong commitment to work for the renewal of God's creation.
