The Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops is pleased to announce the publication of the National Ecumenical Strategy (NES), a major milestone in its ongoing commitment to fostering Christian unity and strengthening interfaith relationships in Canada.
Over the past year, the Episcopal Commission for Christian Unity, Religious Relations with the Jews, and Interfaith Dialogue has focused on advancing the primary goal identified in the 2021 audit and review of Conference-sponsored dialogues: the development of a comprehensive national strategy to guide ecumenical engagement.
The Episcopal Commission hopes that the NES will serve as a valuable and versatile resource—a “multi-tool” for the ecumenical efforts of local churches across the country. The Strategy is expected to play a key role in the formation and ongoing support of diocesan and eparchial ecumenical officers and commissions. A companion document on interfaith dialogue is planned for release in the coming year.
