    Consulters of DID

    Each dicastery (Vatican office) has consultors from around the world who advise the dicastery. The Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue has about thirty consultors, both clerics and lay, religious, men and women, who assist the mission of dialogue through research, reflection, and their own dialogue activities. They are called upon by DID to offer their input on specific issues.
