Ecumenical 2

1.

universal; world-wide and refers to the Christian church as a whole. It can also be spelled ścumenical.) Its origin is in the Greek oikoumenikos, meaning “of or from the whole world”. Not until Pope John XXIII called the Vatican Council in 1962 for the furtherance of Christian unity did the word “ecumenical” become part of the language of the man in the street. Ecumenical councils have been part of the history of the Church for centuries, but none had been held for almost one hundred years.
