The Orthodox Center of the Ecumenical Patriarchate was founded in Chambésy in June 1966. The center is part of the history of the Orthodox Church through its promotion of intra-Orthodox dialogue. It is also part of the history of the ecumenical movement through its contributions to inter-church dialogue. After two decades of unofficial theological consultations and meetings (1964–85), the representatives of the two families of the Orthodox tradition met at an official level in Chambésy for a “Theological Dialogue between the Orthodox Church and the Oriental Orthodox Churches” in December 1985.
