ecumenically
In interfaith spirit
Ecumenically describes doing something in a way that promotes unity among different Christian churches or, more broadly, among diverse religious or ideological groups.
The word derives from ecumenical, which originally referred to the universal Christian church but has expanded to characterize any effort toward cooperation across traditional dividing lines.
The charity operates ecumenically, drawing support from Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox congregations alike.
