Groupe des Dombes

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Groupe des Dombes has existed since 1937 as an ecumenical working group of twenty Evangelical and Roman Catholic theologians of the Francophonie . The group has met every year since 1948 at the beginning of September, from 1968 to 1997 in the Cistercian Abbey of Notre-Dame des Dombes (Ain) near Lyon , and since 1998 in the Benedictine Abbey of Pradines .

The founding of the group goes back to the priest Paul Couturier (1881-1953), who was also very committed to the week of prayer for Christian unity . She tries to overcome the spiritual and theological alienation between the churches.
