The Institute for Ecumenical Research is truly a place where ecumenism is in the making. The professors are putting their heart into their work and one can feel that ecumenical learning is not just on the agenda, it is alive in a positive way. I once attended a summer seminar. It was a true learning expereince and a motivation to keep on working for the unity of the Chruch as Jesus Christ desires it.
