Pentecost Ecumenical Forum

A Pentecost Ecumenical Forum has come into being in Spain at the initiative of the Justice and Peace Commission of the Diocese of Madrid (Catholic), bringing together members of Orthodox, Protestant and Anglican churches, of the Federation of Evangelical Entities in Spain and of various organisations of the Catholic Church. The group has taken as its basis the Guiding Purpose Statement of the Global Christian Forum. On the occasion of Pentecost it called on all the Christians in Spain to unite in prayer. A vigil was held in Madrid on May 10, preceded by a series of workshops and an agapé. The event was hosted by the Spanish Evangelical Church. The members of the Pentecost Ecumenical Forum are committed to strengthen the spirit of unity in mutual respect of one another´s differences, to engage together in theological reflection, to promote what unites them and to participate in meetings and celebrations of each other’s communities. The Forum has taken the European Charta Oecumenica as its source of inspiration and working programme. It will hold periodic meetings for its members and organise encounters from time to time to foster a community of communities.
