Ut Unum Sint (That They May Be One)
May 25, 1995
Ut Unum Sint, an ecumenical encyclical written by John Paul II, reiterates the Second Vatican Council's calls for dialogue with other Christian Churches and invites a reconsideration of the role of the papacy in the reunification of the Christian denominations. Notable for its highly personal language, the encyclical recounts John Paul's many pilgrimages to Protestant and Orthodox Churches. He argues that the unity of the Christian faith is essential to Christ's mission of salvation, and he focuses upon the many things that the traditions share in common. The text has become a standard for Christian ecumenical dialogue.
