25th Year of Ut Unum Sint
On May 25, 1995, Pope Saint John Paul II released his encyclical Ut Unum Sint, On Commitment to Ecumenism. In this letter, the Holy Father reaffirmed the Church's ecumenical commitment made at the Second Vatican Council, expounded on the papal role in the movement, and elaborated on the spiritual foundation of the call to Christian unity. This year marks its 25th anniversary, and we take a moment to look back at the progress that has been made, our present understandings, and our goals for the future.
