Since the break between Eastern (Orthodox) and Western (Roman Catholic) Christians


took place in the 1 lth century and the breakup of western Christianity in the 16th


century (known as the Protestant Reformation), the various Christian churches have


been alienated from each other with sporadic but unsuccessful attempts at rapprochement(


Desseaux, 1984).


The modern ecumenical movement began when representatives of various Protestant


denominations met in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1910 to discuss problems of


missionary work caused by denominational rivalry. The Orthodox later joined in this


discussion and the result from the seed planted in 1910 was creation of the World


Council of Churches (VanElderen, 1990), founded in 1948 in Amsterdam, representing


147 churches, mostly from Europe and North America. Since that Assembly, in


1948 over 300 churches from a hundred countries around the world have joined that


body, seeking unity among Christians (World Council of Churches, 1990).
