Presentation on Catholic-Jewish relations set for October 25
The Center for Catholic-Jewish Studies is presenting: Moving Toward Mutality? Challenges in Catholic-Jewish Relations from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. on Thursday, October 25, in TECO Hall in the College of Business building. This presentation features Dr. Philip A. Cunningham, professor of theology and co-director of the Institute for Jewish-Catholic Relations at Saint Joseph’s University. He is also the 14th recipient of the Center for Catholic-Jewish Studies’ Eternal Light Award.
“
In the 53 years since the Second Vatican Council, a remarkable new relationship between Jews and Catholics has developed. With long-standing hostile Christian teachings having been formally repudiated, the two communities are now on the threshold of a historically unprecedented relationship of mutuality – if they can overcome certain lingering obstacles and habits. This presentation will briefly review past developments and then consider the simultaneously challenging and promising situation in which Catholic-Jewish relations stand today.”
-Dr. Philip A. Cunningham
Admission is free and open to the public.
