Orthodox Churches
|
The various Orthodox churches are among the oldest official dialogue partners of The Episcopal Church with contacts dating back to 1862. While relationships have been strained in recent years, our church is involved with the Orthodox churches by participating in the International Anglican � Orthodox dialogue, established in the 1960s, which operates through the Anglican Communion Office. In addition, warm relations continue in conciliar bodies such as the World and National Council of Churches and Christian Churches Together in the USA. Dialogue between the Oriental Orthodox and Anglican churches began officially in the mid-1980s and in 1991 The Episcopal Church General Convention called for parallel dialogues in the USA.
