Ecumenical Compromise on a Global Scale

Ecumenical News International reports on the growing unity between Protestants & Rome:

For the first time, a general secretary of the World Council of Churches has taken part with a pope in a Rome service to mark the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, which ended last week, recalling the centenary of this initiative born in the United States in 1908.

Underlining that "the world needs a church that is one and united in its witness," Kobia referred to the unrest in his home country which has led to more than 800 deaths. "The common witness of the churches for reconciliation and healing of the nation is crucial for peace in Kenya," the WCC general secretary stated.

On this side of the Atlantic, Rick Warren has been spreading the same message over the last week "the future of the world is not secularism, it's religious pluralism" and the recurring verses found in The Global Hymnal

  • promote peace with justice
  • promote religious liberty
  • respect for religious diversity

And let's not forget the fear factor that instills the sense of urgency to compromise Biblical Truth: Global Crisis Requires Global Spiritual Unity for Global Good.

Bible believing Christians have been marginalized and dis-membered by the hand of purpose-driven pastors across the country.

No doubt that is a sign of things to come on a global scale.
