PROF DION FORSTER - Unity Over Doctrine: A Lesson from the 1925 Stockholm Ecumenical Conference

Loading player...
In this podcast segment, Dion Forster reports from Stockholm, where he attended the centenary conference of the landmark 1925 ecumenical meeting. The core of the discussion focuses on the urgent need for Christian unity in a fractured world. He explains the original conference's motto, "doctrine divides, but service unites," arguing that prioritizing shared service and love over doctrinal debates is key to fulfilling Jesus's prayer for unity in John 17:21. Forster challenges listeners to move from a head-based faith focused on being "right" to a heart-and-arms faith that actively builds bridges in their local communities to demonstrate Christ's love to the world.
