The NIC Commission on Christian Unity and Interreligious Relationships (CUIR - 2012 Discipline ¶ 642)
is committed to seeing that our relationships with other churches and other faiths reflect God’s love that embraces All people into knowing themselves as a household at God’s table. Dr. Martin Luther King drew on the Biblical Greek word oikos, meaning “house,” to say. “We have inherited a big house, a great world house[oikoumene] in which we have to live together- black and white, Easterners and Westerners, Gentiles and Jews, Catholics and Protestants, Moslem and Hindu, a family unduly separated . . . in ideas, culture, and interests who . . . must learn, somehow, in this one big world, to live with each other. This means that more and more our loyalties must become ecumenical [oikoumene].”

Office of ChristianUnity and Interrelgious Relations of the Council of Bishops (OCUIR)
As of January 1, 2013, the GCCUIC General Commission on Christian Unity and Interreligious Concerns ceased to exist and the Office of Christian Unity and Interreligious Relationships under supervision of the Council of Bishops was created.
While the mandates for ecumenical and interreligiousrelations remain the same, the approach to how we do this work is underreview. Members of the Council of Bishops have begun studying the changinglandscape of Christianity in the world to gain a greater understanding oftheir roles as ecumenical leaders of the church.
The OCUIR office will continue to be located in New York City.
