Summary/Abstract: In the constant ecumenical quest, there is a tendency nowadays to reach the most basic levels of church life in order to put the ecumenical rules into practice. The time has come to concentrate our attention on this very level of church life. It is here, in the pastoral work, where we approach couples and families of different confessions. The issue arises now with redoubled strength because of great migrations of people on the European continent. The problem of mixed couples is, among other problems, a challenge in solving the question of baptism and taking Communion. That is why, the everyday life of believers opens on newer and newer experiences, also in the field of ecumenism. Analysing some texts concerning the issue of ecumenical dialogue dealing with baptism and Eucharist, we can find a confirmation of the thesis that it is the parish which should be the unquestionable role model of ecumenical movement.
