SDA Issues - Ecumenicalism DEFINED Properly

And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Revelation 12:17

"Amid the COVID-19 crisis that has devastated Italy and decimated its economy, the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Italy has announced that the coronavirus has delayed one of its 2020
ecumenical activities with Catholics and Evangelicals. The official website of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Italy published on April 10, 2020 that the annual ecumenicalBible Marathon” was canceled due to COVID-19.

The Bible Marathon consists of Biblical readings in different churches. During the marathon, Seventh-day Adventists run to the Catholic, Orthodox and Evangelical churches, read certain passages from the Bible and obtain the signatures of different clergymen. All of this is done in the name of interfaith cooperation and unity.

But any marathon or church project that takes me into the arms of Rome to embrace the Pope’s representative is not Biblical. It is one thing when church leaders engage in interfaith activities; but it is a completely different situation when we use our children to pursue these relationships.

Ecumenism is about being at peace
with the dragon, the beast and its image.
 
How can someone who bears the name of Seventh-day Adventist, a name that is a striking rebuke to those churches that presume to have changed God’s law, work to have a common witness with them?"
