Panel 2: Addressing Contentious Issues in Jewish-Christian Relations (Teletorium in Mandeville Hall, SJU Campus) |
|
|
The Israeli-Palestinian / Israeli-Arab conflicts remain central issues of contention in Jewish-Christian relations, fueled regularly by new developments and events. They also overlap with issues we all deal with: the ongoing reality of antisemitism and Islamophobia, the challenges of responding to multiple forms of hatred, and conversations about intersectionality. As people with experience and friendships in Jewish-Christian dialogue, how do our conversations differ from those in other contexts? What lessons or constructive insights can we share with one another? How might we contribute to these larger issues? We'd like to frame this session as an opportunity for a wider discussion among CCJR meeting attendees. Based on our experience as participants in Jewish-Christian dialogue, where do we see possible ways of getting beyond contention? Discussion moderators/starters: Vicki Barnett (USHMM emerita), Mary Boys (Union Theological Seminary), Adam Gregerman (Saint Joseph's University)
