Abstract
“We ask you, do not trouble us any more and any longer to write or send anything about these issues… Go now your way! Don’t write us any more about dogmas, but only for the sake of friendship, if you so desire.”1 With these words, the Ecumenical patriarch ended his correspondence with Protestant theologians at the University of Tübingen in the sixteenth century. Doctrinal differences between Eastern Orthodox and Western churches thus are nothing new. But it was only in the twentieth century that official and sustainable dialogues were taken up in the framework of the ecumenical movement. These dialogues are taking place in multilateral as well as in bilateral settings, either on an international, regional, or local level.KeywordsHuman DignitySpecial CommissionWorship ServiceProtestant ChurchWorld CouncilThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
