You guys don't think much of the Ecumenical Movement, so imagine if those in that movement said things like, "If you don't join the Ecumenical Movement you are divisive!" What would you think of that? Would you think they are really for oneness? Would you find their demands offensive? Even divisive in themselves?

Well, by the same token the vast majority of Christians don't think much of your prescriptions for oneness. When you start insisting that those who don't go along with you are divisive you just have to look at what your reaction would be to a more insistent Ecumenical Movement to understand how they feel.
