Abstract: In 1960s, the Catholic Paulus-Gesellschaft organized a series of conferences of the dialogue between "Christians and Marxists", which, with the spread and comments via public media, were socially influential and historically significant. By reviewing the historical context of this series of conferences and examining its themes, ideological background and historical causes, this article explores the possibility of communication, mutual understanding and reaching consensus to some extent between Marxism and Christianity. When globalization has already been a trend today, discourse power in various contexts still needs to be expressed, communicated, understood and renewed in "dialogues" to achieve the grand target of building "a community of shared future for mankind".

Key words: dialogue, Marxists, Christians, 1960s
