Abstract
The modern ecumenical movement is historically deeply rooted in (inter)de-nominationalism of the 17th century. In this movement doctrinal differences were not considered to be of fundamental importance. In sociological terms (inter)denomi- nationalism can be described as anti–sectarian but that does not imply that it is pro-church. From a denominational perspective ‘pro-church’ has a distinct ‘sectarian’ ring to it and might even be considered to be socially disruptive. Therefore the catholicity of the church should not be confused with modern interdenominationalism. In ‘part one’ some characteristics of denominationalism are critically scrutinised. ‘Part two’ deals with the indissoluble link between the ‘simplicity of God and the unity of the church’.
