Summary/Abstract: The three parts of the paper aim to draw the issue from the arrangements concerning the dialogue in general, ecumenical dialogue, and the dialogical dimension in particular, which is studied from the perspective of a unique document agreed on in multilateral dialogue with the World Council of Churches and the Roman Catholic Church. The document (agreed on 20 May 1993) deals with the very concept and necessity for ecumenical formation on one hand, and presents some reflections and suggestions on the other. It also speaks about ecumenical formation as a process through which, thanks to the Holy Spirit, Christians of various denominations strive towards complete unity in faith, in the sacraments and the Church. Therefore the following means of formation should be pointed out: the study of the divine Word, preaching, catechesis, spiritual life, cooperation in various charity and social initiatives as well as its faith sharing circles, such as: families, parishes, schools, various associations, groups and ecclesial movements. The final part of the paper focuses on postulates.
