Tillard (1927-2000) est l’un des plus brillants oecumenistes catholiques du XXe siecle. A Vatican II, il prend conscience des grandes ouvertures oecumeniques du Concile et de sa vocation a travailler pour la communion visible des Eglises. Avec tenacite et perseverance, il decrira et developpera les implications ecclesiologiques de cette nouvelle orientation conciliaire et cherchera a les mettre en oeuvre dans les dialogues theologiques internationaux dont il fut membre. Jusqu’a la fin de sa vie, il sera en dialogue avec les anglicans, les disciples du Christ et les orthodoxes, et a Foi et Constitution, avec un eventail d’Eglises. Au sein de ces instances, ses nombreux working-papers stimuleront les discussions des commissions et laisseront son empreinte dans les textes d’accord. Par sa rigueur theologique, sa capacite a depasser les controverses et a ouvrir des horizons, Tillard a sans aucun doute contribue au rapprochement des Eglises et a leur dynamisme oecumenique.
