Excerpt from the interview:

Fr. Hyacinthe, as holder of the Fr. Val McInnes Chair for 2020 could you please briefly introduce yourself? 

I am a French Dominican priest from the Toulouse Province. After my ordination in 2001 my ministry has been always linked with the question of Christian unity, first as director of the Istina Ecumenical Centre in Paris, then as pastor in Saint Petersburg, Russia, and for the last seven years as an official of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity in the Vatican. Since last year, I have also been the director of the Angelicum’s Institute for Ecumenical Studies.
