Dignified in ecumenical matters (4)
I believe the answer is:
calm
'dignified' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'in ecumenical matters' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'CALM' can be found hidden inside 'ecumenical matters'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for calm that I've seen before include "Still or peaceful" , "Still - force 0 on the Beaufort scale" , "Controlled, not agitated" , "Composed and collected" , "Peaceful, tranquil" .)
