Some hundred years from inception, the ecumenical movement is
stagnating. William C. Ingle-Gillis argues that the problem lies in
modern ecumenism's treatment of denominational Churches as
provisional entities requiring reunion to be more fully Christ's
Body. In a work unique both to ecumenical studies and to
trinitarian theology, the author redefines ecclesial life from the
premise that God's essence is personhood-in-communion and that the
ultimate calling of human persons is to share as fully in the
divine life as Christ himself. Concluding that the Churches are, by
the Spirit's action, a tangible, dynamic event, wherein God makes
visible his on-going reconciliation of the world to himself,
Ingle-Gillis argues that the Churches' true life lies in
coming-together, rather than being-together. This conclusion places
ecumenism at the heart of Church life and witness.
