“Each Church, in communion with the others, does not lose anything but rather gives of its own riches.” These were the words of the Rumanian Orthodox Metropolitan, Serafim, during a meeting of well-known leaders in ecumenical circles in Jerusalem, held on the afternoon of the 9th of December in the Ecumenical Institute of Tantur. This meeting was convened by the Focolare Movement and was attended by a qualified group of participants including Patriarchs and their vicars-general, Bishops, priests and lay leaders representing ten different Churches, many of whom from the Eastern Churches – 150 people in all. Also present was the group of Bishops of various Churches, friends of the Focolare Movement, who had been present at their annual meeting in Amman and who had come to the Holy Land on pilgrimage. The meeting’s rich program was followed with profound attention. It consisted of a brief presentation of the Focolare Movement followed by experiences given by Bishops of five different Churches on the fruits of the spirituality of unity in the field of ecumenism. Since Chiara Lubich was unable to be present, a video was shown of her talk on the basic aspects of an ecumenical spirituality delivered in the Lutheran Church of St Anna in Augsburg, Germany, in 1998. The meeting concluded with an intensely moving moment of prayer which was led by representatives of the various Churches present and which focussed on the reading of the testament of Jesus: “That all may be one so that the world may believe”. The broad representation and the extraordinary openness demonstrated among the participants made this meeting, according to local Church leaders, “a true blessing from heaven”, “a refreshing contribution to the progress of ecumenical relationships in the Holy Land”.
