Orthodox and Catholics to Prepare Joint Approach on Dialogue with EU

Orthodox and Catholics intend to develop a joint approach to forming dialogue with the European Union (EU), according to the Interfax-Religion website.

The first working meeting was held on November 17, 2009. Representatives of the Orthodox and Catholic Churches at the EU took part in it.

During the discussion, participants at the meeting underlined the importance of a uniform approach development of Christian Churches for forming institutional dialogue with the EU.

They especially noted the importance of the joint mission of Orthodox and Catholic Churches, because these churches tend to have the same positions in the majority of pressing questions.

As a result of this meeting, participants have decided to hold such consultations regularly as of December, 2009.
