Editing Ecumenism (section)

===Ecumenical symbol===
The ecumenical symbol pre-dates the World Council of Churches (WCC), formed in 1948, but is incorporated into the official logo of the WCC and many other ecumenical organizations.

{{blockquote|The church is portrayed as a boat afloat on the sea of the world with the mast in the form of a cross. These early Christian symbols of the church embody faith and unity and carry the message of the ecumenical movement.... The symbol of the boat has its origins in the gospel story of the calling of the disciples by Jesus and the stilling of the storm on Lake Galilee.<ref>{{cite web|title=The Ecumenical Symbol|url=https://www.oikoumene.org/en/resources/logo|website=World Council of Churches}}</ref>}}
