Abstract

The article outlines the effects of the structural elements of the ecumenical concept, its relevance and significance in the context of global challenges in the environment of modern civilization. Their main directions, originating from the latest philosophical and worldview paradigms, the escalation of ethno-confessional prejudices and secularization, are determined. An analysis of the significance of the ecumenical efforts of Christian communities in interaction with the processes of inculturation of evangelical principles, thanks to missionary activity, was carried out. The forms of inculturation, its nature and main features, which are manifested in the successful reception of Christianity by various cultural environments, are outlined. In particular, religious and non-religious dimensions of ecumenism are taken into account, their importance in the process of effective functioning in the field of social service, missionary work, environmental actions. It is determined that missionary activity, which is closely intertwined with inculturation, constitutes a functional element of religious actions in the spirit of ecumenism. In the process of research, it becomes clear that the process of inculturation of Christianity is not one-sided by its nature, but requires a response from the side of the cultural environment that is being evangelized.
