Liturgy as a Space of Ecumenical Dialogue: the Case the Monastic Fraternities’ of Jerusalem Liturgy

Summary/Abstract: The Monastic Fraternities of Jerusalem are two Catholic institutes of consecrated life – the Brothers and the Sisters – founded in the 1970’s in France by Pierre-Marie Delfieux. Their aim is restoration after the Second Vatican Council. In the light of Canonical Law, the Monks and the Nuns are two independent congregations, but their charism – prayer in the heart of the city and for the city – is carried out together as they form both types of cloisters and common worship in every church under their auspices. The liturgy is identical in every Fraternity church and – which is the most important thing from an ecumenical point of view – is greatly inspired by Eastern liturgical tradition. This Eastern-style liturgy in both knowledge and assimilation of many non-Western liturgical elements, is an original space for ecumenical dialogue, particularly Catholic-Orthodox dialogue.
