The Christian Church consists of many denominations - groups of Christians with a particular style of worship. For example, Baptists tend to have many services based on scripture and regard baptism of adults to be of prime importance. Catholics enjoy ornate ritual in worship. Pentecostals enjoy charismatic worship and concentrate on the gifts of the Holy Spirit - especially in speaking in 'tongues'.
However, ecumenical worship means worship in which two or more denominations worship together, like Anglicans and Methodists, or Pentecostals and Baptists. The service will reflect aspects of both traditions. Ecumenical worship can be particularly moving - especially if it is open to all denominations - as many attending worship together in an ecumenical service wuld never normally do so if they were confined to worship solely within their own denominations.

They were all guided by the Holy Spirit and approved by Rome so that their decisions are binding on all of Christ's Church. Each and everyone of them was called to deal with various heresies. Many of their decisions involved the first time a doctrine was actually "defined" for the simple reason that it was the first time it had seriously been called into question. There was no new church after Trent, just as there was no new church after Nicaea. Despite other opinions to the contrary, the Church of Rome was established by Christ and remained faithful to Him throughout the centuries. There is no "church of Trent".

The Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople is considered the spiritual leader of Orthodox Christians; however, this position is not analogous to that of the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church. As the Orthodox Church considers Jesus Christ the head of the Church, the Ecumenical Patriarch is simply considered as 'first among equals.' The Patriarchs of Alexandria, Antioch, and Jerusalem then follow the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople in seniority respectively.
