Living Dialogue
Chiara Lubich on Christian Unity
by Chiara Lubich
GoodBookStall Review:
This book is a selection of talks given by Chiara Lubich at various ecumenical meetings in Switzerland in 2002. Chiara Lubich was the founder of the Focolare movement (in Italian “family hearth”) which is devoted to the ideal of unity between all nations, religions and races. The movement was founded in 1943 in Italy, but has now spread to one hundred and eighty countries and is embraced by over three hundred and fifty different churches, Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox, as well as members of other faiths. The aim of the movement is a “spirituality of unity”. The talks that are included in this book embrace all of Chiara Lubich’s fundamental beliefs: universal love and understanding, even in diversity, mutual forgiveness and trust and friendship among all people of all faiths. These talks are full of profound and precious ideas. They are above all a message of hope “that they all may be one.”
