Ecumenism

To make church communion possible it is important to come to grips with the theological foundations of ecclesial community. Internationally composed doctrinal dialogue groups concern themselves with differences in teaching and central problems of the church in the present.

The CPCE is at the pulse of the times. In the specialist circles on Ethics and Ecumenics it has two expert bodies which enable it to speak on important ecclesiastical and political developments and bring the position of the churches into the channels of politics and civil society.
