The luncheon will include some consideration of concrete pastoral situations such as (the reciprocal learning and respect involved in) interreligious marriage, the role of interreligious dialogue in evangelization, and questions around praying together. The cost for the luncheon is $10.00. To register, send check to: Center for Christian-Jewish Learning (Attention: Sr. Audrey Doetzel) NOTE: RELIGIOUS EDUCATORS will also be able to hear Fr. Ryan’s presentation at the Archdiocesan Religious Education Congress on Saturday, November 19. Contact the Archdiocesan Office for Religious Education for details: 617-779-3625. |
