Abstract

Spirituality is a space that, regardless of denomination, affects every Christian. As we can see, divisions among Christians are nothing new. In fact, we have been dealing with them since its beginnings. As we can see, the scandalous division of Christianity was and is an anti-testimony that is not conducive to the sanctification of believers nor to the work of evangelization. Neither denominational exclusivism nor indifferentism and relativism are acceptable. The study concerns the possibility of meeting the followers of Christ and His Gospel on the basis of spirituality. Ecumenical spirituality, which is a lens that focuses dogmatic and practical ecumenism. By its nature, the pursuit of unity with God includes love for both Him and for every neighbor. Therefore, a denomination that rejects striving for this unity is not fully Christian.
