Inter-Council Presence’s commission on attitude to non-Orthodoxy and other religions meets at DECR
The Inter-Council Presence’s commission on attitude to non-Orthodoxy and other religions met on 7 September 2010 at the Moscow Patriarchate’s department for external church relations. It was chaired by Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk.
The commission considered documents drafted by its working groups during this year. With some clarifications and remarks it approved in principle the draft document on the Participation of the Russian Orthodox Church in Inter-Christian Dialogue prepared on the basis of the experience accumulated since the document on the Basic Principles of the Russian Orthodox Church’s Attitude to Non-Orthodoxy was adopted by the 2000 Bishops’ Council. The commission also discussed the strategy to be pursued by the Russian Orthodox Church in inter-Christian dialogue in the future.
The document elaborated by the commission will be submitted to the presidium of the Inter-Council Presence of the Russian Orthodox Church.
It was also agreed to continue working at the document on the admission rite for non-Orthodox people and the draft document on the Russian Orthodox Church’s Concept of Inter-Religious Relations.
