For example, this can be used as an important tool for evaluating the implementation of ecumenism and inter-faith dialogue in the local Catholic Churches in the Philippines. Using this framework, this paper will show how local churches' very parochial perspective hinders the development of not just ecumenism and interfaith dialogue but also of other global standpoint of the church in the Philippines. A reversed globalization is happening which hinders inter-faith dialogue and other global thinking of the church.
