Ecumenical and Interreligious Newsletter
In today's world, we are constantly confronted with news and information. We are here to see that ecumenical and interreligious initiatives at the US Conference of Bishops and the broader Catholic world are brought to you. Today, we bring you the most recent updates from the previous month, including USCCB dialogues, Vatican news, and a spotlight on local initiatives through our partners at CADEIO (Catholic Associations of Ecumenical and Interreligious Officers). We welcome you to explore the following items of interest related to the Catholic bishops' mission to pursue Christian unity and mutual understanding with members of all faiths and please, invite your friends and colleagues to join our mailing list. 
Happy Holidays from the Staff of the Secretariat for Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs!
