dc.description.abstract | There are certain places throughout the world where ecumenical movements
are born and have arisen out of the very essence the sociocultural realities
of these places. The Cieszyn region of Silesia is such a place. In Cieszyn,
different nationalities, cultures, and religions converge because the region
both literally and symbolically contains many borders. Many Christian denominations
peacefully coexist within Cieszyn, which is home to the largest
community of Lutherans in Poland. The ecumenical movement within Cieszyn
arose as a necessary and inevitable consequence of the coexistence of these
Churches. For this reason, the Cieszyn region of Silesia is a perfect example of
contemporary trends that are occurring within the ecumenical movement.
Ecumenism in the Cieszyn region of Silesia has a very long and rich history
that began more than five centuries ago, meaning long before the Second
Vatican Council issued the Decree on Ecumenism Unitatis Redintegratio. Two
Christian denominations—Roman Catholic and Lutheran—have coexisted in
Cieszyn Silesia and, therefore, have become a symbol of an ecumenism based
on faith and tolerance as well as survival and respect. Each of these represent
the modern understanding of ecumenism today.
The ecumenical movement can serve as a solid foundation that strengthens
a sense of unity within local communities that share the same cultural and
Christian roots so that these communities can achieve a common goal: to build
a civilization of love, peace, and justice.
Based on the examples of ecumenical relationships at work provided in this
article, it is possible to say that the wise of “today” look back on “yesterday” in
order to build a better “tomorrow.” Therefore, it is safe to assert that an ecumenism
well-lived in the present that is also firmly rooted in history is a source of
hope for the future of Christian Churches and communities. When presenting how the multi-denominational population of Cieszyn
Silesia received the Decree on Ecumenism Unitatis Redintegratio, a statement
made by one of the most eminent Polish ecumenists, Father Prof. Wacław
Hryniewicz, comes to mind: “An authentic reception can be achieved only
when the partners differ from each other, because diversity enables the true
relationship between giving and taking.” | pl_PL |
