Summary/Abstract: The official theological dialogue between the Orthodox Church and the Ancient Oriental Churches began in the 60es and has been ended, at least from the perspective of the Joint Commission, in the beginning of the 90es. Since then, the fullness of the Orthodox Churches and Oriental Churches received the documents for reception and evaluation. As it is known, some Churches adopted the documents, others have been rejected them and others proposed to continue the work of the Joint Commission. But since then, there was no any perspective in this sense. It seemed that the dialogue was somehow “forgotten”. The present study analyzes some new developments in relation with the theological dialogue and some writings, both in English and Romanian concerning this dialogue. Some internet resources complete the information, it is true, very little, that we have since 1993 (when was the last official work of the Joint Commission) until nowadays, regarding this issue.
