Balamand declaration
Uniatism, method of union of the past, and the present search for full communion (French: l'uniatisme, méthode d'union du passé, et la recherche actuelle de la pleine communion), also known as the Balamand declaration and the Balamand document, is a 1993 report written by the Joint International Commission for Theological Dialogue Between the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church during its 7th plenary session at University of Balamand's Balamand School of Theology in Lebanon. The report discusses ecclesiological principles and suggests practical rules for both the Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church to implement about improving relations by reciprocally avoiding interfering in each other's Churches and not using history in a polemical manner.
