History
Dom Oliver Rousseau was a Benedictine monk of the monastery of Chevetogne in Belgium. He and others from Chevetogne were deeply involved in the early stages of the liturgical reform movement. Though their quarterly review «Irénikon», Chevetogne also addressed ecumenical dialogue. Rousseau was interested in Merton's article, "The Pasternak Affair", but thought that another article by Merton might more closely fit the genre of Irénikon.
