The theme reflection underlines the need for an “ecumenism of the heart,” noting that many people are urging that the search for unity should not be only “intellectual, institutional, and formal, but also based in relationship, in common prayer, and above all, in mutual affection and love.”

A world that is “crying out for profound love, for community, for justice and hope needs churches that are visibly in communion, longing for oneness where there is division, and finding a new future for humankind and all creation.”
