Canon 904

1. The undertakings of the ecumenical movement in every individual Church sui iuris are to be encouraged by special norms of

particular law; the Apostolic Roman See directing the movement

for the universal Church. 2. For this purpose, there should be

in each individual Church sui iuris a commission of experts on

ecumenical matters, to be constituted, if the circumstances warrant it, in consultation with the patriarchs and eparchial

bishops of other Churches sui iuris who exercise their power in

the same territory. 3. It pertains to the eparchial bishops to

promote a council for ecumenical efforts for their individual eparchies, or, if it seems better, for many eparchies together; in

those eparchies which cannot a have their own council, there

should be at least one member of the Christian faithful appointed

by the eparchial bishop with the special function of promoting

this movement.
