This dialogue was specifically with the Eastern Orthodox. The dialogue did not include the Oriental Orthodox who have a different theology and praxis. Also, these dialogues are unofficial, although they entail the steps to a greater unity, they are not proclamations or declarations of such, but only tools for further dialogue.
