Boston, Mass., Feb 20, 2006 / 22:00 pm
Brandeis University and Boston College, through its Center for Christian-Jewish Learning, will co-sponsor a two-day conference next month to mark the 40th anniversary of Nostra Aetate.
The conference will provide an opportunity to explore the nature of interreligious dialogue with keynote speaker Archbishop Michael Fitzgerald, president of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue and a highly regarded specialist in Islam, as well as other distinguished speakers representing different faith traditions.
Nostra Aetate is a document of the Catholic Church, which emerged from the Second Vatican Council and gave a new direction to the Church’s relationship with other world religions, including Judaism and Islam.
