Protestantizem je poimenovanje verskih gibanj, ki neposredno ali posredno izhajajo
iz reformacije v 16. stoletju, ko je vodilno vlogo odigral Martin Luter. Zaradi zavračanja
primata in avtoritete hierarhičnosti je bil Luter za reformiranje Cerkva prisiljen
ustvariti nove, popolnoma drugačne strukture. Sodobno ekumensko gibanje se
je začelo v okviru evangeličanskega krščanstva v 19. stoletju, šele v 20. stoletju pa
lahko govorimo o pravem ekumenskem gibanju, obsegajočem več veroizpovedi. Prve
korake v smer ekumenskega dialoga so naredili kristjani iz protestantskih Cerkva
in skupnosti. Prav zato postaja naloga ekumenskega gibanja predvsem ustvarjanje
skupnega krščanskega odgovora na družbene, gospodarske in kulturne spremembe,
ki so izvor trpljenja in ponižanja mnogih ljudi, ne le kristjanov.
Protestantism is a concept describing religious movements originating directly or
indirectly from the 16th-Century Reformation led by Martin Luther. Rejecting the
primacy and the hierarchy of authority forced Luther to formulate new, completely
different structures for the Reformed Churches. The contemporary ecumenical
movement had its beginnings in Evangelical Christianity in the 19th Century;
however, only in the 20th Century we can speak of a truly ecumenical movement
comprising multiple religious beliefs. The Christians from the Protestant communities
and churches made first steps towards the ecumenical dialogue. The main task
of the ecumenical movement is to work out a common, Christian response to the
social, economic and cultural changes that are the source of pain and humiliation
for many people, not only the Christians.
