Join the Center for Christian-Jewish Learning’s 13th Annual John Paul II Lecture in Christian-Jewish Relations.
Sixty years ago, on October 28, 1965, the Second Vatican Council helped launch an unprecedented new era of rapprochement between Jews and Christians. In the following decades, Christians and Jews have been able to speak, as had never been possible before, about even essential differences of belief. In the process, they sometimes had the powerful and transformative experience of discerning holiness in each other’s texts, rituals, and people. This presentation explores the spiritual significance of this historic development and its meaning in today’s context of polarization and war.
