Abstract

The procession for schism in church history in the eleventh century remains unresolved over Theology biases. The advent of ecumenical initiatives in the early 19th century became a notable attempt to put away schism in Nigerian Christian churches. However, this laudable attempt in the early 19th Century was primarily based on theological and non theological variation. Though it is generally acceptable fact that the children of God all over the world were to be one family, it has rather over the years created conformists and non-conformists to the issue of oneness. It appears the study and practice for oneness of the Christendom in the classical text of the Lordâ€™s Prayer, John 17: 11 are mysticcentric. Can the recent thrust for unity of the Christian churches in Nigeria be based on conformists or non-conformist views on ecumenism? This paper attempts to do a critical African biblio-historical evaluation of church schisms and ecumenical concept in Nigeria in a little over ten centuries milieu. This paper will as well attempt to painstakingly make possible suggestions to make the prayer of the Master referred to at the beginning to its fulfillment.
