Gathering for an annual meeting from 19-20 January, the Pontifical Council for Inter-religious Dialogue and World Council of Churches Office of Inter-religious Dialogue and Cooperation discussed ways of sharing more widely the document “Serving a Wounded World in Inter-religious Solidarity: A Christian Call to Reflection and Action During COVID-19 and Beyond,” which was co-produced by the two offices in 2020.
“This is the most recent of a series of joint publications that the two offices have produced during the course of more than forty years of ecumenical friendship and collaboration aimed at promoting inter-religious dialogue together,” reads a communique from the meeting.
Earlier documents focused on Inter-religious Marriage, Inter-religious Prayer, African Religiosity, Christian Witness in a Multi-Religious World, and Education for Peace.
The offices also expressed their ongoing commitment to grow in ecumenical communion as well as renew the common commitment to intensify their collaborative works in the realm of inter-religious dialogue by focusing on wider reception and implementation of the documents.
