The explosion
of charismatic, Pentecostal, and indigenous communities, especially in Africa, poses all kinds
of problems, but here, too, the observation applies that «the most significant — and most gratifying — result
of ecumenism over the past
few decades is not the various documents [
of agreements and convergences] but the recovery
of fraternity, the fact that we have rediscovered that we are brothers and sisters in Christ.»
