About the book: Ecumenism is a topic for the elderly, who have suffered from church divisions throughout their lives. The young stand on the sidelines, watching with boredom, as they believe the topic of 'church' will soon be irrelevant - a sobering conclusion by Albert Damblon. Nevertheless, it is true that significant progress has been made on the path to unity. There is goodwill, but in everyday church life, as Damblon continues, “I cannot go against church law. Despite all longing, it forbids me to celebrate communion ecumenically.” By sharing very personal accounts of his disillusioning yet hopeful experiences and encounters as a Catholic priest regarding ecumenism, it becomes clear what Alfred Delp noted back in 1944: “If the churches once again impose the image of a quarreling Christianity on humanity, they will be written off.”.
