%X Este artigo, resultado de pesquisa documental, apresenta uma narrativa sobre as pr¨¢ticas ecum¨ºnicas de mulheres do metodismo brasileiro e discorre sobre as formas discursivas por elas adotadas para o alcance de um p¨²blico mais amplo. Tais pr¨¢ticas ganharam ¨ªmpeto quando as mission¨¢rias norte-americanas passaram a organizar seus col¨¦gios no Brasil. Para organizar as escolas, professoras, diretoras e monitoras tiveram que estabelecer di¨¢logos e acordos pol¨ªticos com presbiterianos, batistas, luteranos, e inclusive com cat¨®licos apost¨®licos romanos, conversando e convencendo pol¨ªticos de v¨¢rias igrejas. Cantaram, oraram e pregaram juntas. As mulheres metodistas fizeram isso nas escolas e tamb¨¦m nas institui  es filantr¨®picas. Nas d¨¦cadas de 1960 e 1970, as pr¨¢ticas ecum¨ºnicas dessas mulheres ganharam as p¨¢ginas da revista Voz Mission¨¢ria, documento-base dos recortes utilizados para a presente an¨¢lise. The ecumenical practices of women in Brazilian Methodism gained prominence when American missionaries began to organize their schools in Brazil. To organize their s schools teachers, principals and monitors had to establish dialogue and political deals with Presbyterians, Lutherans, and also with the Roman Apostolic. They talked and convinced politicians of various churches. They sang, prayed and preached together. Methodist women did it in schools and also in philanthropic institutions. In the 1960s and 1970s ecumenical practices of these women took to the pages of the Missionary Voice magazine. The paper aims to present a narrative about these practices and discuss the discursive forms adopted for reaching a wider audience.
