Interdenominationalism

Referring to the bringing together of different faiths, interdenominationalism is sometimes referred to as universalism

Interdenominational Churches built for the purpose of bringing together Christians of different denominations are often referred to as united and uniting churches.

Christian faith-based organisations which act independent of church oversight are called interdenominational or parachurch organisations (para, is Greek for beside, or alongside). They are typically Protestant or evangelical.
