Resumo
De uma forma sumária, apresentam-se os passos encetados no caminho da reconciliação religiosa. Têm sido, quase sempre, passos de iniciativa arrojada e temerária, porém, sem a correspondente e generalizada mobilização que enforma a utópica vontade dos pioneiros. No entanto, distanciados cerca de um século das primeiras iniciativas conciliatórias – ponderando os esforços empenhados e avaliados alguns dos efeitos – talvez se possa concluir que não se chegou ainda aonde se pretendia, mas que se descobriram aspectos de uma evolução que se desconhecia. Muitos desses aspectos do movimento, conhecido por Ecumenismo, emergiram reconfigurados por uma evolução que, nos primórdios, não se adivinhava. O vocábulo que, desde a sua origem, assumiu conotações diversificadas — geográfico-cultural (em meio grego), geográfico-político-cultural (em meio romano), geográfico-político-religioso-cultural (em meio cristão) — transformou-se, pelo crisol histórico, em designação de modelo de unidade religiosa (dos cristãos), eclesial (das igrejas) ou secular (da Humanidade).
To sum-up, we present the final steps on the pathway to religious reconciliation. Most of the time, these steps involve an audacious and bold initiative. However without the adequate and generalised mobilisation forming the utopical pioneer’s will. Nevertheless, about one century from the first initiative of conciliation – thinking about the efforts done and evaluating the efforts – we can probably say that we did not arrive where we wanted to, but we discovered aspects of an evolution that we were not aware of. A lot of these aspects of movement known by the Ecumenism emerged reviewed by an evolution that, initially, was unpredictable. The term which, since beginning, has known different connotations – geographico-cultural (in the Greek ambient), geographico-politico-cultural (in the Roman ambient), geographico-politico-religious-cultural (in the Christian ambient) – has been transformed, through history, on a designation of religious unity model (of Christians), ecclesiastic (of churches) or secular (of Humanity).
