"The vision behind this unique centre is inspired by the call from the One, triune God that has created us for fellowship and called us to be one in the Holy Spirit as followers of Christ. The call to serve the visible unity of the Church is carrying the ecumenical movement forward, as we are called in our unity to make it possible to know and to believe that in Jesus Christ, in his life, crucifixion and resurrection, we see the truth about God’s love for the world," said Tveit.
