What is indispensable but still absent from the structure of the EI is the Department of Ecumeni-cal Theology, which existed from the establishment of the Institute in 1983 until 2011, when it was closed by KUL’s Chancellor. This department was dedicated to research on Catholic participation in the ecumenical movement, the principles of ecumenism, the history of the ecumenical movement, and ecumenical dialogues.
The employees of the respective departments in the reporting period were: Rev. Prof. Marek Jagodziński, PhD, DSc. Associate Professor in the Department of Orthodox Theol-ogy; Rev. Przemysław Kantyka, PhD, DSc, Assoc. Prof. (KUL), Head of the Department of Protestant Theology; Piotr Kopiec, PhD, DSc, Assistant Professor in the Department of Protestant Theology; Krzysztof LEŚNIEWSKI, PhD, DSc, Assoc. Prof. (KUL), Head of the Department of Orthodox Theology; Rev. Sławomir Pawłowski SAC, PhD, DSc, Assoc. Prof. (KUL), employed in the Department of Orthodox Theology; Rev. Tomasz Sie-mieniec, PhD, Assistant Professor in the Department of Protestant Theology.

These included, above all: book publications as well as cooperation with the Learned Society of the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin (Towarzystwo Naukowe KUL), the Lublin Learned Society (Societas Scientiarum Lublinensis), and Wydawnictwo KUL (Catholic University of Lublin Press). The EI conducted its re-search projects in cooperation with domestic and international academic centres and institutions. Work on these projects took various forms: academic networking, organiz-ing, co-organizorganiz-ing, and taking part in conferences and symposia, delivering lectures and presentations, preparing various kinds of publications, and exchanging lecturers with other academic centres, mainly ones located in Romania and the USA.
In the reporting period under discussion, as part of its statutory research, the Depart-ment of Orthodox Theology began research work on the topic of Theology and the
