RELIGION: Whatever Became of the Ecumenical Movement? - George L Johnson - November 1973

George L Johnson

A FEW years ago the religious world was all aglow with hopes of getting back together into one big happy family. The Roman Catholic Church called Vatican II and the world held its breath as what many on the outside felt was the world's most intolerant church changed its views toward the Protestant churches. The spirit of brotherhood was in the air. A breath of fresh air seemed to be blowing through the musty halls of Christendom. However, as the gusts became stronger, it seemed an ill wind indeed to the conservative establishment. The minute that the churches began to allow new fresh thinking among their theologians, all of their pet ideas and theories were under attack. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
