What does the word echumenic mean?

The word "ecumenical" is often misspelled as "echumenic". Here's what it means:

Ecumenical refers to something that is universal or worldwide, especially in relation to the Christian church.

Here are some ways the word is used:

* Ecumenical Council: A council of representatives from various Christian denominations.

* Ecumenical movement: Efforts to promote unity and cooperation among different Christian denominations.

* Ecumenical dialogue: Discussions and conversations between different Christian groups to address shared concerns and find common ground.

The word derives from the Greek word oikoumene, meaning "the inhabited world".

So, while "echumenic" is a misspelling, it's essentially trying to convey the same meaning as "ecumenical".
