The Commission on Ecumenism & Interreligious Dialogue exists to:
- affirm and promote ecumenical and interreligious efforts by individuals and institutions.
- provide vision and leadership to the local Catholic Church in its mission to dialogue with other Christians, Jews, Muslims and all people of goodwill.
- facilitate a visible unity among area religious communities that are rooted in prayer, dialogue, acts of service and friendship.
While remaining faithful to the mission and vision of the great Father of this Church, Servant of God Mar Ivanios, the Eparchy is committed to promoting unity among Churches and religions especially in North America.
