CHARTA OECUMENICA DEKLARACJA NIESPEŁNIONYCH NADZIEI EKUMENICZNYCH

Marcin Hintz

Resumen

The Charta Oecumenica, one of the most important text of European ecu-menical movement, was signed in April 2001 in the historical Lutheran St. Thomas church in Strasbourg. In the text of Charta we can find the declaration:ìThe most important task of the churches in Europe is the common proclama-tion of the Gospel, in both word and deed, for the salvation of allî (Chapter 2). There were very different reactions of the theologian and lay people in the churches in Europe after several months of this event in Strasbourg. Most of them were enthusiastic, also in Poland. After 10 years of this very important ecumen-ical act, we can find out that the Charta Oecumenica has been forgotten.
