SHORT HISTORY OF DECREE ON ECUMENISM The 50th anniversary of its promulgation Dignitatis Redintegratio was approved on November 21, 1964 by the Second Vatican Council.

This Decree on Ecumenism (the Latin title of which translates as “The Repair of Unity”) was the major twentieth-century turning point in the progress of the quest for Christian unity. The concern for Christian unity extended beyond this short document.
It permeated the work of the whole Council. The article consists of three parts:
1) The outline of the history of ecumenical movement;
2) Stages of preparation to the Council;
3) Ecumenical issues during the Council.

In the conclusion the author argues that the Decree on Ecumenism points us on the way forward into the 21st century. It is the command of the Lord to follow this path, with moderation, but also with courage, with patience and above all with unshakeable hope.
