Ecumenical Pilgrims

The 50 'ecumenical pilgrims' portrayed in this book illustrate the richness of the spiritual traditions which meet in the ecumenical movement. They are among 20th-century Christians whose faith, prayer, work and sacrifice have helped to break down the churches' long heritage of division. The testimony of their lives is thus a contemporary challenge to new commitments to unity and renewal. In these brief portraits the focus is not so much on biographical details as on the richness of the spiritual traditions which meet in the ecumenical movement and enrich the life of the churches together.
