  • Cultural Diplomacy and Conflict Resolution
    Cultural Diplomacy and Conflict Resolution Introduction In his poem, The Second Coming (1919), William Butler Yeats captured the moment we are now experiencing: Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity. As we see the deterioration of the institutions created and fostered after the Second World War to create a climate in which peace and prosperity could flourish in Europe and beyond, it is important to understand the role played by diplomacy in securing the stability and strengthening the shared values of freedom and democracy that have marked this era for the nations of the world. It is most instructive to read the Inaugural Address of President John F. Kennedy, in which he encouraged Americans not only to do good things for their own country, but to do good things in the world. The creation of the Peace Corps is an example of the kind of spirit that put young American volunteers into some of the poorest nations in an effort to improve the standard of living for people around the globe. We knew we were leaders; we knew that we had many political and economic and social advantages. There was an impetus to share this wealth. Generosity, not greed, was the motivation of that generation. Of course, this did not begin with Kennedy. It was preceded by the Marshall Plan, one of the only times in history that the conqueror decided to rebuild the country of the vanquished foe.

  • Pope's Visit to Synagogue 'Clear Message' of Good Will, Rabbi Says
    Pope’s visit to synagogue ‘clear message’ of good will, rabbi says NEW YORK – Pope Benedict XVI’s April 18 visit to a synagogue during the New York leg of his U.S. visit is a “clear message of good will to the Jewish community,” said the rabbi hosting the pope. Rabbi Arthur Schneier, senior rabbi of Park East Synagogue, said his own commitment to interreligious dialogue prompted him to invite the pope to visit his house of worship. He extended the invitation while visiting the Vatican in March. “I have worked for 46 years for religious freedom, human rights and interreligious dialogue from my pulpit,” he said in an interview with Catholic News Service in the days leading up to the papal visit. “Our synagogue has been the scene of interreligious dialogue on many occasions,” he said. It has hosted Russian Orthodox Patriarch Alexy II of Moscow, Orthodox Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople and the chief rabbi of Israel. Rabbi Schneier also is founder and president of the Appeal of Conscience Foundation, which he said “concerns itself with the situations involving oppressed Catholics, Jews and people of other religions.” On his way to an ecumenical prayer service at St. Joseph’s Church in the Yorkville section of Manhattan, Pope Benedict was to make a 20-minute visit to the Park East Synagogue. The synagogue is near where the pope is residing at the residence of the Vatican’s U.N. nuncio. On his last day in Washington, after meeting with 200 interreligious leaders, the pope met briefly with Jewish leaders.

  • My Name Is Theodore Mccarrick. I Am the Catholic Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Washington
    My name is Theodore McCarrick. I am the Catholic Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Washington. My interest in the difficulties which the Greek Orthodox Church faces in Turkey goes back a long time and I am delighted to have an opportunity to mention my concerns at this time to the distinguished members of the Helsinki Commission. (A slight digression would be that I was privileged to serve as a public member of the Helsinki Commission many years ago and attend meetings both in the Balkans and in the former Soviet Union. I know the good work that you have accomplished and I am delighted that you continue to consider the difficulties of freedom of religion as is now faced by the Greek Orthodox Church.) This morning I am speaking not on behalf of the Catholic Church nor on behalf of the Conference of the Bishops of the United States of America. I speak solely and purely in my own name as a friend of the Orthodox Church and as one who has had the opportunity both because of my membership in the Helsinki Commission and also my privilege of serving as one of the original members of our own Federal Commission on International Freedom of Religion. It was in both these capacities that I became aware of the problems that the Greek Orthodox Church in Turkey is facing and where we have always the hope of bringing these problems clearly into the light of day so that our own nation might play a role in bringing them to a happy resolution.
