The first annual Kraft-Hiatt Symposium on Jewish and Roman Catholic Relations will be held on Sept. 17 from 3 to 5 p.m. in the Hogan Campus Center Ballroom at the College of the Holy Cross. The event, titled “Jews and Catholics in Dialogue: What’s on the Agenda?,” is free and open to the public.
Discussants will include Rabbi Irving Greenberg, president of Jewish Life Network/Steinhardt Foundation and author of For the Sake of Heaven and Earth: The New Encounter Between Judaism and Christianity (2004); and Dr. Eugene Fisher, associate director of the Secretariat for Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB).
The symposium also marks the anniversary of the Second Vatican Council declaration Nostra Aetate (1965), which began a new relationship between the Catholic Church and the Jewish people.
The event, expected to be held annually, is sponsored by the Kraft-Hiatt Fund and the Center for Religion, Ethics and Culture.
