Where: Dialogue Society, London
by Dr Michael Barnes, Centre for Christianity and Interreligious Dialogue

Abstract

The Catholic relationship with people from other faith traditions changed dramatically with the Second Vatican Council in 1965. Since then inter-religious dialogue has been very much at the forefront of the mission of the Catholic Church. But this shift has not been without its tensions - both inside and outside the Church. This lecture will explore some of the issues which it raises for all people of faith.
