Abstract
Ecumenical dialogue and pastoral ministry is a pressing summons for every Bishop to a specific apostolic duty in the new context of impacting the transformation of life, communal and personal, caused by the pandemic. The search for Christian unity has continued, and has made progress. One of the fruits of this is the new document of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity: The Bishop and Christian Unity. An Ecumenical Vademecum. The Bishop’s responsibility for promoting Christian unity is not to be looked for as the fruit of our own efforts; it is first and foremost a gift of the Holy Trinity to the Church. This does not excuse, however, bishops from making every effort, beginning with prayer itself, to hasten the journey towards full unity. The first essential task is for bishops to keep ecumenical responsibility alive in four fields: spiritual ecumenism, dialogue of charity, dialogue of truth and dialogue of life. The study reflects the fundamental areas of the ecumenical work of bishops in the light of the newly issued document of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity.

Summary
Služba biskupa však má ještě další, nezastupitelnou (!) rovinu osobní, rovinu milosti (spiritualita jako svobodu rozvíjející poslušnost vůči svěřenému, totiž svobodné přilnutí k tajemství Otce, Syna a Ducha Svatého, jež postupně přetváří vše, co člověk je a co má, v činnost, která spojuje božské a lidské k proměně pro věčnost), která dává jeho autoritě jurisdikčně‐administrativní (odstupňovaná účast na poslání a třech úřadech Krista) legitimitu tím, že výkon jeho úřadu svědčí a navenek zjevuje nejen oprávněnost jeho duchovní moci, ale také její hodnověrnost, projevuje‐li se přesvědčivostí jeho duchovní a lidské moudrosti, pastorační prozíravostí, a dokonce i kulturně‐politickou uvážlivostí a osvíceností.
