Administrative history
The Commission for Ecumenical and Interfaith Relations was established by Archbishop Anthony Jordan in 1966. Compelled by the desire of Jesus Christ that all may be one and encouraged by the sprite of Vatican II, the Commission for Ecumenical and Interfaith Relations worked to promoted reconciliation and unity among Christian churches and to create better understanding with other religions through prayer, study, dialogue, and communal activities. The Ukrainian Catholic Church joined the Commission in 1989 and as such members of the commission became responsible to both bishops.
In 1990, for the first time, a part-time employee was hired to oversee the work of the Commission. For the next thirteen years the Commission would organize, host and participate in numerous faith based events in the Archdiocese of Edmonton seeking to fulfill its goal of increasing unity among Christians. In 2003, with the reorganization of the offices of the Archdiocese, the commission was ended. Responsibility for Ecumenical and Interfaith initiatives was transferred to the Office of Evangelization and Catechesis.

Scope and content
The fonds consists of records which document the activities of the Commission for Ecumenical and Interfaith Relations from the time that a part-time employee was hired by the Archdiocese to oversee the activities of the commission until its transfer to the Office of Evangelization and Catechesis in 2003.. Early records of the Commission’s activities are unfortunately lost.
The fonds includes both Administrative Records such as correspondence and minutes of meetings, as well as subject files related to various groups and/or initiatives that the Commission was involved in. As such the fonds is arranged into the following two series
- Administrative Records (1993-2003)
- Subject Files (1994-2003)
