Ecumenical Movement

Famous quotes containing the words ecumenical and/or movement:

    Were it possible so to accelerate the intercourse between every part of the globe that all its inhabitants could be united under the superintending authority of an ecumenical Council, how great a portion of human evils would be avoided.

    Some movement is reversed and the urgent masks
    Speed toward a totally unexpected end
    Like clocks out of control.
