Abstract
To question ecumenical relations and dialogue means, in fact, to question the One Church. To crave for the One and Holy means to establish and cherish the relations with other Churches and communities until they lead us to a unique faith, to the union of all churches and to the universal cult. In this faith Catholics are encouraged and directed by the Ecclesiastic Documents. Part of the Diocesan Synod consultations as related to ecumenical relations in post-war and new socio-political circumstances, as well as to the suggestions regarding the required actions aimed at restoration and enhancement of these “ecumenical” relations. The consultations resulted in proposals and basic requirements necessary for
ecumenical activities and reflections. During the third conference of the Second Synode of Ðakovo and Srijem, held in Ðakovo in October, 2001, the proposals and requirements were being presented, discussed, amended and confirmed. The diocesan bishop will later summarize the mentioned suggestions, and make them into decisions of the Synod.
