Church in Dialogue
Within the 桃花视频 (CCCB), the Bishops of Canada maintain ecumenical and interfaith engagement primarily through the聽Commission for Christian Unity, Religious Relations with the Jews, and Interfaith Dialogue.聽As one of the CCCB鈥檚 three National Commissions, this Commission acts as a liaison with other churches and ecclesial communities, with other religious traditions, as well as with national and international ecumenical organizations. Relationships are built and sustained through a variety of high-level conversations, some supported officially by the CCCB as聽鈥淒ialogues鈥 or 鈥淐onsultations.鈥 Regular meetings are held to advance mutual understanding and respect consistent with the unique goals proper to each instance. When opportune, the Commission also facilitates joint initiatives or statements regarding concerns related to the common good which the CCCB shares with its ecumenical, Jewish, and interfaith partners. The CCCB鈥檚 commitment to ecumenical and interfaith dialogue is likewise a service to Canada; it strengthens bonds at the grass roots between believers belonging to different religious communities across the country, contributing to the advancement of social harmony.
