Ecumenism in the perspective of globalization and postmodernism

Abstract

This article views ecumenism both from the perspective of globalization and postmodernism. Introduction defines Christian ecumenism. The first segment of this article deals with the relationship between ecumenism and globalization, primarily with the help of essential categories like identity and strangeness (xenosociology). The second segment questions this: if postmodernism fosters and produces differences and ecumenism wants to achieve the unity of all Christians, is it possible that they have similarities. This work shed lights on the relationship between ecumenism and religious fundamentalism.
