This falls in the category of can't we all just get along?
Definition of ECUMENICAL

2) promoting or tending toward worldwide Christian unity or cooperation
Within the greater Christian church we are all called to make disciples - that is the Great Commission. However, somewhere along the line that became the Hokey-Pokey Commission. Take the existing church members turn them all around and let them move from church to church while we pretend that we are growing in numbers. It probably isn't that bad, but there are days it feels like that . . .
When will we stop fighting amongst ourselves?
When will we stop fighting over church members?
When will we actually reach new people with the message of God's love?
