We all started together, and look to finish in the same place-in the kingdom of God. Yet, along the way, Christians and Jews find themselves separated by deep misunderstandings about each other’s beliefs. In this thought-provoking video, scholars from both the Catholic and Jewish traditions openly discuss the roots of animosity between the faiths-and how the two can relate in positive ways. An ideal discussion-starting resource for adult education, ecumenical officers, and interfaith marriage counselors.

Culled from nearly forty years of Catholic writings, this thoughtful collection makes clear the Church’s position on the events and ethnicities surrounding the Passion and Death of Christ-and its reproval of hatred and persecution of any form.

This important document proposes important new clarifications and pastoral steps, which will serve the pilgrimage toward full unityy. It provides the biblical, historical and theological foundations for a common Catholic-Lutheran understanding of the Church. The text carefully links the biblical doctrine of justification to the development of the Church in the New Testament as a community of salvation; whose structures and ministries serve the Church’s mission to the human family. A detailed exposition is given to the development of the ministries and structures in the church: councils, dioceses, parishes, bishops, presbyters, and the Petrine ministry.

Written for those who work with interchurch engaged or married couples, and the couples themselves, this ecumenical resource seeks to identify what the three Reformed churches and the Catholic Church hold in common on marriage, family life, and church practice, and the points on which they differ. As a practical tool, it provides parish and congregation leaders with information on the issues and concerns facing an interchurch marriage and what they need to know to support such issues. The resource includes two appendices that discuss practical issues such as family planning, dispensations, and annulments, and details a glossary of terms.

Topics discussed include the issue of authority as an aid to Christian life, the role of the lay Christian, tools to help further dialogue, and an analysis of a common religious vocabulary. Reflection questions are included in the chapters.
