Toward Unity without Any Border

precis:

The challenge and hope of ecumenism is to seek ways to see the reality of Christians who long for visible unity. Starting from the principle that this visible unity is already expressed in the unity of baptism, we aspire to the greatness of unity in the eucharist, the source of life. From every observable reality, the people of God earnestly seek an encounter with the sibling who suffers, despairs, and feels the desire for God. We believe in a God who wants and encourages the encounter, a God who has the initiative to see the face of humanity. We Christians live in many borderline situations—often at the limit of bloodshed, martyrdom, and suffering—for the simple desire to seek happiness and koinonia. The question would be: What do the rest of Christians do for those of my siblings who live in situations of death—borderline situations?
