I am fully in accord with the timing and the need for a handbook, not only for inter-confessional and even inter-religious activities, but also for ordinary activities within a single confession. Ecumenism is not just for dialogue with others; it is also dialogue with ourselves. Inter-religious dialogue will be useful only if it is preceded by an «intra-dialogue», for a possible handbook to which I put forward the following minimal principles."engWith permission of the license/copyright holderEcumenical HandbookInter-confessional ActivitiesIntra-dialogueInter-religious DialogueReportsCultural ethicsReligious ethicsCommunity ethicsEcumenismChristian denominationsArticle
