Referred to in the Conference of European Churches' constitution as "making common contribution to the mission of the Church, the safeguarding of life, to renew common life and witness", the Churches in Dialogue Commission (CID) is at the very heart of the work of CEC.

On these pages, we would like to give you an overview of our work. The Churches in Dialogue Commission...

... initiates and supports religious and inter-religious dialogue among and on behalf of the CEC member churches;

... actively engages in the study and analysis of contempory trends relating to theological education, mission, inter-religious dialogue, and inter-church dialogue across Europe;

... promotes the participation of the churches in the shaping of an agenda for better understanding and implementing the common proclamation of the Gospel, and

... participates in the search for patterns and forms of ecumenical spirituality that support ecumenical encounter.
