Summary/Abstract: The theological complexity and ecclesial implications of pneumatology within the Trinitarian communion are emphasized, highlighting the fundamental role of the Holy Spirit in mediating the interaction between unity and diversity in the Christian Church. Exploring the Trinitarian dynamics manifested at the Descent of the Holy Spirit, the research emphasizes how the presence of the Holy Spirit strengthens the communal identity of the Church, facilitating the harmonious integration of cultural and spiritual diversity into a common unity of faith. The study investigates the theological, scriptural and traditional foundations that support consubstantiality and divine perichoresis as models for structuring relationships within ecclesial communities, highlighting the influence of these conceptions on current ecumenical dialogue and on the way of addressing contemporary social challenges. By integrating the synthesis of patristic theology with modern theological reflections, the work advances a reinterpretation of the role of the Holy Spirit in cultivating a unity that values and celebrates the internal diversity of the Church. By proposing a revitalized Trinitarian framework, it offers an innovative perspective on the realization of ecclesial unity in the context of today's religious and cultural pluralism.
