Abstract
This article draws on decolonial resources to interrogate the meaning and possibility of unity and reconciliation from a Christian perspective in a postcolonial world. Highlighting the need to remap modern ecumenism, the article draws on Pope Francis' dreams of a new relationship of the church with the peoples of the Amazon to explore the meaning of Christian unity and reconciliation discourse vis-à-vis socio-economic, racial, cultural, and epistemic divides.
