Ecumenism in official documents

Post by Andrei C. »

Where could be found a complete list of official documents of WO churches where ecumenist heresy has been confessed?
English, russian or romanian sources are welcome.

Thank you

"When on a clear fall night I gaze upon the clear heavens, illumined by innumerable stars that send out a single light, then I say to myself: thus are the writings of the holy fathers. When on a summer's day I gaze upon the wide sea, covered with a multitude of distinct waves, driven by a single wind to a single end, a single pier, then I say to myself: such are the writings of the fathers. When I hear a well-ordered choir, in which different voices sing a single hymn in shimmering harmony, then I say to myself: such are the writings of the fathers." (St. Ignatius Brianchaninov)

I don't know how complete it is, but the website orthodoxinfo.com has a very useful section on ecumenism, including many important documents.

And from one of the pages in that covenant agreement.
Note the clause which I have bolded! Praying with heretics is wrong.

Thanks Jean-Serge and Maria.
I have to note that this document is quite soft comparing to what has been signed in the '90s and in WCC and CEC.

The covenant agreement in Australia organized the mutual recognition of baptisms by several churches.
