Ecumenical education that aims to enlighten and enrich our students who come from
a variety of backgrounds to follow Jesus together as one Body, to appreciate each
other's unique traditions, and to appreciate the value of diversity and unity. At
CrossTalk, ecumenism means that being rooted in one’s church does not imply that
he/she is away from the other churches. In fact, spirituality is enriched by loving,
respecting and even serving different churches
