Abstract
AbstractEcumenism is difficult to achieve because Eurochristianity dominates the discourse, thus masking its complicity with oppression. Those from the global South who adopt the white Jesus of the colonizers become complicit with their own oppression. For ecumenism to occur, the decolonization of the minds of those on the margins must first take place by rejecting Eurochristianity and interpreting their faith through their own indigenous symbols. This process may require ecumenical conversations within the global South apart from the global North. And for whites to eventually join the ecumenical discourse, they must first crucify their whiteness and bow their knees to the Jesus of the oppressed.
