This issue of Ekklesia examines an integral and holistic approach to accompaniment which must include every aspect of a person and their context, for it is increasingly evident that spiritual accompaniment alone is not enough; we need an integral or holistic accompaniment which is psycho-physical-social as well as spiritual. This involves a multiplicity of skills and components that must operate in a convergent manner and not in isolation, where they complement one another and benefit the person involved.

Pathways to communion
and dialogue
Ekklesía is a print and digital initiative available in various languages. It conveys and promotes the complementarity of the Church's charismatic and ministerial dimensions in the light of the teachings of the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council.
​
​
Guided by the principle of universal brotherhood, readers are invited to journey and work together along paths of communion and dialogue. In this way, Ekklesía hopes to contribute to building a synodal reality in which all members of God’s people are valued in the common search for new ways to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus to men and women of our time.
Ekklesía’s articles focus on Church and societal renewal; relationships among different Churches and religions; encounters between diverse peoples and cultures; and dialogue with persons of differing convictions or of no particular religious belief.
Each quarterly issue focuses on a particular and relevant theme.
