Abstract

One of the basic reasons for ecumenical endeavor in the churches today, as always, is the desire to reflect in association with one another the commitment in faith and service to God, who is one. The fundamental contradiction that lies in distinctive organizational, liturgical, and personal relations between men and women, priests and people, leaders and followers, who confess the same faith in the same God-Creator, Redeemer, Sanctifier - should and does disturb those who inherit, promote, and prolong the division.
