Dancing with thoughts Dialogue is a much-used term, but not that often put in practice. The Pastoral Formation Institute is filling part of that gap within the confines of the Church. It is doing so, among other things, by going outside those confines to encourage exchanges of views between and among lay persons and religious people.
