The International Ecumenical Fraternity
a network for prayer, formation and evangelisation
Founded in 2000,
the International Ecumenical Fraternity is a network for prayer, formation and evangelisation.
Its members commit themselves to pray, learn and work in favour of unity and peace between our Churches and countries.
More specifically, every month the Community produces a thirtyminute documentary film on a particular topic which opens us up to issues regarding peace and unity around the world.
Translated into 26 languages, this documentary film is common to all and is sent to over 1000 ‘Net Points’ spread over nearly 80 countries. Each ‘Net Point’ brings together people of all generations and of different Christian denominations who respond to Christ’s call, “May they all be one” (Jn 17:21).
"We experience the vision Father Paul Couturier received in 1944 as an appeal made to the Chemin Neuf Community and Communion as a whole: “If each Thursday evening, in weekly commemoration of that Great Thursday, an ever increasing multitude of Christians of every denomination were to form an immense network encircling the earth, like a vast ‘invisible monastery’ in which all would be taken up into the prayer of Christ for Unity, would it not be the dawn of Christian Unity breaking over the world?”
