In the course of the interview, I gradually proceeded to more structured question in order to address the topics on my topic list, as far as they had not been addressed by the respondent.

After introducing the procedure, the nature of the research and the interviews, and especially the main interest of the study (namely: Eucharistic hospitality), I invited respondents to reconstruct their ecumenical biography and their experiences with Eucharistic hospitality, within and outside the community, adapting the following formulations to the dynamic of the conversation. Opening question and follow-up questions Please tell me about your interest in ecumenical relations, how it started, what your sources of inspiration have been (for example persons, events, books), what kinds of experiences you encountered – good and perhaps bad – and how they affected your commitment to interchurch relations.
