Description
What is MID?
Monastic Interreligious Dialogue (MID) is an organization of Benedictine and Trappist monks and nuns committed to fostering interreligious and intermonastic dialogue at the level of spiritual practice and experience between North American Catholic monastic women and men and contemplative practitioners of diverse religious traditions.
MID in North America is one of several regional commissions that have been formed by Catholic monastic communities throughout the world to promote interreligious dialogue. The work of these commissions is coordinated by a General Secretariat establsihed in 1994 by the Abbot Primate of the Benedictines acting in agreement with the Cistercian Abbots General. It is currently headed by Fr. Pierre-François de Béthune, OSB. The Secretariat publishes an International Bulletin to report on the work of the regional commissions, to inform readers of other expressions of the dialogue of spiritual experience, and to make available official ecclesial documents dealing with interreligious dialogue. Starting with Number 75, our on-line Bulletin will call attention to the contents of the current International Bulletin and direct readers to both the print and on-line versions.
In order that the dialogue of monks and nuns be in explicit communion with the universal Church, the General Secretariat ensures contact with the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue.
