Ulf Ekman, a well-known preacher and the founder of the charismatic protestant Church “Word of Life”, who in 2014 joined the Catholic Church, was a guest at a special meeting in the Jesuit-run St Thomas Institute in Moscow. Mr Ekman told the audience, which was composed largely by those who had known him as a charismatic protestant leader, about his journey to serving God and then, following the guidance of the Spirit, to be united to the Catholic Church, where he finally found the fullness of Christian revelation. In the beginning of 1990’s Ulf Ekman had personally founded a few Christian communities on the territory of Russia and other former Soviet republics. For many members of those communities his decision to become a Catholic was a great surprise and by some was even regarded even an act of betrayal. Mr Ekman, together with his wife Birgitta, now makes the effort to bring closer the Catholics and the charismatic Protestants. For the ministry of the Jesuits in Moscow the meeting became part of the initiatives which aim to promote the ecumenical dialogue.
