Ecumenical

Ecumenical: late 16c., "representing the entire (Christian) world," formed in English as an ecclesiastical word, from Late Latin oecumenicus"general, universal," from Greek oikoumenikos "from the whole world," from he oikoumene ge "the inhabited world (as known to the ancient Greeks); the Greeks and their neighbors considered as developed human society (as opposed to barbarian lands)," in later use "the Roman world" and in the Christian sense in ecclesiastical Greek, from oikoumenos, present passive participle ofoikein "inhabit," from oikos "house, habitation”. Related: Ecumenic.



Ecumenical in its value, gold can be exchanged for goods in services all over the world!

Things that are ecumenical
1. Smiling
2. Thumbs up
3. Screaming when frightened

What are some other things that are ecumenical?
