Re: Proto-ecumenism before the 1920s
Nothing (to be fair I haven't checked); just "a Tsar calling for a memorial service to a dead heterodox royal in defiance of the wave of liberalism in France" doesn't rise to the level of "nascent ecumenism" for me.

Indeed, the categorization and interpretation of the fact as ecumenism might be incorrect.

Re: Proto-ecumenism before the 1920s
From my blog : http://orthodoxie-libre.over-blog.com/2 ... ard-3.html
It appears that the king Edward VIII had 2 orthodox godparents, contrary to orthodox canons. I could not find details of this they attend or not the baptism. Did they sponsor at distance. I guess I will have to write to the Royal House to know more. These godparents were the future Nicholas II and the queen Olga of Greece. https://www.unofficialroyalty.com/house ... istenings/
Once again, it is not sure that fits the definition of proto-ecumenism, but for sure this is really bad and favours indifferentism.
