Maestri e testimoni: per una didattica del dialogo ecumenico nel XXI secolo.

Ecumenical dialogue in Italy became a central topic in the religious and social life of the XXI century after the new situation created with the immigration of so many non-Catholic Christians, especially from Eastern Europe. The ecumenical dialogue is developed in the light of the “masters and witnesses” lived in Italy in the XX century, as Giorgio La Pira, mayor of Florence for the long time, whose the author presents the spiritual dimension as a central element for the promotion of a culture of dialogue. Figures as Giorgio La Pira favored the growth of experience of dialogue in the local communities which had to address the prejudice, as the author outlines quoting the tables on intolerance in Italy.
