Discover the Transformative Ecumenism Movement

In search of alternatives to dominant discourses and visions

About

Transformative Ecumenism Movement was launched in partnership with the All Africa Council of Churches in Nairobi, Kenya on August 19, 2023.

Transformative Ecumenism is an invitation to action in response to the urgent crises that confront the world today. It is informed by a series of conversations on these challenges among some concerned individuals engaged in ecumenical reflection and action in different parts of the world.

Transformative Ecumenism

a new awareness of
the interconnectedness of life

an alternative vision
of the world

a movement of
partners for justice

a vocation that inspires creative actions for a
world that ensures life for all

Transformative Ecumenism Movement strives:

for a people-based, justice-driven and change-effecting expressions of the ecumenism;
to be a movement of movements collaborating with people engaged in liberative and transformative actions;
a space for those daring to ask uncomfortable questions in faithfulness to God’s call and anticipation of a new future that resonates with those yearning for justice and life; and
a movement shaped and led by young people.
