On September 19, 2016, Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk, head of the
Moscow Patriarchate’s department for external church relations (DECR),
met with Cardinal Kurt Koch, president of the Pontifical Council for
Christian Unity, in Chieti, where the Joint Commission for Theological
Dialogue between the Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church is
holding its 15th plenary session.
