North American Orthodox-Catholic Theological Consultation: An Agreed Statement on Mixed Marriages

Barlin Acres, MA, November 4, 1971, Eighth Meeting

The recent dialogue between the Orthodox and Catholic Churches has led to a deeper appreciation of their common tradition of faith. This exploration has helped us to reassess some specific theological and pastoral problems in the area of Christian marriage. We recognize the practical difficulties which couples continue to face when they enter a mixed marriage as long as their churches are divided on matters of doctrine and styles of Christian life.
