The Bishops Committee on Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs consists of twenty five bishops who specialize in relations between Christians and
inter-faith groups. The committee, currently headed by Bishop Mitchell T. Rozanski of Springfield, Mass., is reestablished every three years. The Secretariat of Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs exists to carry out the ongoing programs and plans of the bishops' committee. The mandate of the committee is to give guidance in ecumenical and
interreligious affairs and, acting in accordance with the Decree on Ecumenism (Unitatis Redintegratio) and the Declaration on the Relation of the Church to Non-Christian Religions (Nostra Aetate), determine concrete ways of fostering positive relations and building networks of greater collaboration and trust with other Christians and members of
non-Christian traditions.
