The unit explores church teaching – with a particular focus on the teaching of the Catholic Church – on the Christian call to dialogue in ecumenical and interfaith situations. Theological issues, such as the role of Jesus Christ in salvation and the church's mission of proclamation and dialogue, are examined in historical and contemporary contexts. Specific dialogues are considered with the view to developing a practical theology of ecumenical and interfaith relations.
