The ecumenical chance of the year 2017 - review - proposals - perspectives, by Rev. Dr Olav Fykse Tveit, WCC General Secretary.

Abram’s journey in Genesis 12 as a response to God’s guidance becomes a pilgrimage of blessings. The unnamed destination of his pilgrimage is encountering people and their land. Abram will become a a kind of “platform” of blessings among other peoples and nations, rather than an exemplar of the exercise of power and control over those peoples and their land. As God commissioned Abram to go forth as a source of blessings, God calls us to go in the pilgrimage of blessings.

Le voyage d’Abram dans Genèse 12, sous la conduite de Dieu, devient un pèlerinage de bénédictions. La destination sans nom de son pèlerinage est la rencontre d’êtres humains et la découverte de leur pays. Abram deviendra une sorte de «plateforme» de bénédictions parmi les autres peuples et nations, plutôt qu’un modèle d’exercice du pouvoir et de contrôle sur ces peuples et leurs terres. De même que Dieu a ordonné à Abram de partir telle une source de bénédictions, Dieu nous appelle à partir pour un pèlerinage de bénédictions.
