I don't think it destroys the freedom of diversity at all. The world is full of lots of people who choose independently all the time. These people are not likely to choose a "watered-down" spirituality.
That is my problem with a multi-faith ecumenicalism. To try and "delete" any "disagreements" between different religions, is to destroy the uniqueness of each faith , and sell out the truth. This kind of cardboard religion will go absolutely nowhere!

Islam is the most misunderstood religion. Its universal call for unity is misinterperated in media and among other religious groups. Christian should really try to read and understand Quran, inorder to bridge the gaps between the two faiths. The holy Prophet Jesus came to preach the lost tribes of Israel, and Christian turned him into son of God, whereas he was just the holy Prophet like many others before him, and then came the last law bearing Prophet Mohammad who was Prophesised in the Bible. The Prophet Mohammad proposed the Universal religion for all man kind and religion was named ISLAM. For further studies, any reader can visit, www.alislam.org

No, it looks only like that, that is the best instrument for ecuminism, why should he, all is played, but i would say their aren't a lot of diversity at least on the three largest faiths anyway, wouldn't be that bad or a big change.

I think it is a good thing. Why?
There will be one less reason for people to go around chopping each other's head off for their religious difference. Look at the Middle East right now, and the current state of the world. It's Islam verse Christianity, and stuff like that.

No. ecumenism respects the differences in the true Christian churches and seeks to find common ground where we can function as the Body of Christ to prepare for His return. If we were more Ecumenical we would hasten the day of His return by helping to Prepare the Bride of Christ and spread the Good News more quickly and efficiently to the four corners of the earth.

It IS entirely possible to celebrate one's own faith while also respecting the faiths of others.
Like Gandhi said, "Religions are different roads converging upon the same point. What does it matter that we take different roads so long as we reach the same goal?"

I don't know about diversity, but it does create a situation where you have to find the lowest common denominator of agreeance, and "dumbing down" anything is a bad thing.
Great question, btw.

I will tell you what it does do.... it leads us right into revelation where there will be a one world religion...
What other reason are these religions getting together? The Bible says how can 2 walk together if they do not agree???
Surely a move toward the end times.

Ecumenism leads to a One World Religion, if you know what I mean. And if you know what I mean, you know how destructive I think ecumenism is. But the antichrist is loving it, and so is his mother - the Vatican.
