Wolfgang Huber, former Council President of the Evangelical Church in Germany (EKD), believes in a "breakthrough" at the communion of Protestants and Catholics to the Ecumenical Church Day of 2021. "I can not imagine that we will celebrate this church day without A breakthrough has been achieved in the area of Eucharistic hospitality, "said the former bishop of Berlin in the interview of the" Weser-Kurier "(Saturday). Until the event in Frankfurt am Main 2021 something must move.
"Machistort des Papstes" less promising
According to Huber, the next steps in the Eucharist and the Lord's Supper will be "decentralized". "My feeling is that Pope Francis wants to broaden the scope of individual bishops' conferences for ecumenically relevant decisions, and sees this path as a more promising one as a central path for the whole world church and a breakthrough through a pope's power," said Huber.
The former bishop of the Evangelical Church of Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Oberlausitz was 75 years old on Saturday. Berlin's Archbishop Heiner Koch congratulated him with a congratulatory letter: Koch thanked him especially for the "strong accents" which he had placed both in the Protestant church and in the ecumenism. He praised Huber as a "strong integrator" and recalled that the fusion of the Evangelical Church of Berlin-Brandenburg with the Evangelical Church of the Silesian Oberlausitz fell in his office in 2004.
Huber was born on 12 August 1942 in Strasbourg. From 1994 to 2009 he was a bishop of Berlin, and from 2003 to 2009 he was the presidency of the Evangelical Church in Germany. Before that, he was himself president of the church. In his own words, however, it was self-evident for him to leave the office before his bishop's election. "For me the church day movement is characterized by the fact that it is a lay movement that cooperates with the Church, but on the basis of reciprocal freedom", he explained. At the Kirchentag this year in Berlin and Wittenberg you got the feeling of a joint event. "From the old counterpart of the church and the church day nothing was visible to the outside." He wanted something more friction, however. "Friction generates fire," says Huber. (JHE / KNA)
Whew boy. Pope Frankie is driving fast toward that one world religion. What a false shepherd he is.
Maybe we should invite the towelheads to the table, too?

As an ex-Catholic who is now born again, there is no way I want any ecumenism with that false religion of Rome.
Amen to that!

Prayers up for Holy Mother Church.
The Novus Novus Ordo with no Canon will be the turd in the punch bowl with which Bergoglio will drive the remaining Catholics among the bishops out of “communion with Rome.”
Then, Bergoglio will have the Papacy he wants—one based entirely on POWER rather than Truth.
Would this be swimming the Bosphorus?
Then you disagree with Jesus, who said, “If you love me, keep my commandments.”
That’s all the word “religion” means—being “bound” to obey God.
You also disagree with Jesus about having a “personal” relationship with him. He told the apostles, “Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them. Whose sins you shall retain, they are retained.”
In other words, Jesus gave the apostles the power to JUDGE, and then to forgive or refuse forgiveness.
Now, it would clearly be preposterous for Jesus to give this power to the apostles unless the faithful were going to TELL their sins to the apostles.
So, in John’s gospel, Jesus clearly says that our relationship with him here on earth is not absolutely direct, but is mediated by certain men.
“He who hears you hears me, and he who hears me hears the one who sent me.”
“As I was sent, so I send you.”
In many places in the gospel, Jesus makes clear that he is appointing men to transmit his teaching, and to sanctify and to govern in his name.
In other words, Jesus describes a religion, an institution, in which he appoints men to mediate the teaching and the sanctifying activity of Jesus.
It’s right there in the gospels, in black and white. (In “red letter” Bibles, in red and white.)
Yea driving to the vision of a united Christianity that prevailed until Luther stared having visions of the Demoniac
I am sure he has that in mind. The Host, of course, will have to be Halal.
Dream on.
Your comment is baffling.
Many are being educated in the “Convergence”.
They are easily trained.
