The PRO ORIENTE Steering Committee for Orthodox-Catholic Dialogue (POSCOCD) has developed various projects to strengthen and intensify Orthodox-Catholic dialogue, including this project, which aims at making the results of Orthodox-Catholic dialogue at various levels better known and at connecting different dialogue commissions and groups with each other.
The Committee mandated a sub-committee to develop this project, collect the relevant documents and prepare them for publication in different languages on this website. The members of the POSCOCD sub-committee responsible for this website are:
- Hyacinthe DESTIVELLE
- Vladimir KHULAP
- Ioan MOGA
- Johannes OELDEMANN
- Katerina PEKRIDOU
We hope that this website can contribute to building a fruitful network of all those engaged in Orthodox-Catholic dialogue, in line with our motto “Connecting Dialogues”.
