Ecumenical Unit Is Established SERVING THE PEOPLE OF GOD IN THE COUNTIES OF BR6WARD, COLLIER, DADE, GLADES, HENDRY, MARTIN, MONROE AND PALM BEACH Volume XXI Number 18 July 13, 1979 Price 25c Ecumenical Unit is Established (•See Editorial, page 6) An Ecumenical Planning Commission has been established by Archbishop McCarthy for the Archdiocese of Miami and will be an integral part of the program of Evangelization presently underway. THE COMMISSION'S immediate goal is to in- vestigate what are the Ecumenical dimensions in South Florida in the light of the Archdiocesan program of evangelization. This goal will include an evaluation of present Ecumenical efforts and contacts with other Christians and non-Christians, both on an Archdiocesan and parish level. The Commission will aim at coordinating present Ecumenical contacts and programs within the overall Arch- diocesan evangelizing effort. Stress will be laid less on structure and more on dialogue and cooperation with other Christians and non-Christians — in relation to the moral and civic problems which face the community at large. The Commission is also given the task of eventually producing Ecumenical guidelines- to assist parishes and Archdiocesan organizations in furthering dialogue and cooperation. Members of the initial planning commission are: Archbishop Edward A. McCarthy. Auxiliary Bishop Agustin A. Roman, V.G., Vicar for the Spanish-speaking. Msgr. Bryan O. Walsh, Archdiocesan Director of Catholic Charities and Social Services. Rev. Gerald Grace, Professor at St. Vincent de Paul Major Seminary, Boynton Beach. Rev. Jose Nickse, Archdiocesan Director of Radio and T.V. Rev. Roger A. Radloff, Associate Pastor of St. Richard's Parish, Miami.

    50 YEARS IN THE SERVICE OF INTERRELIGIOUS DIALOGUE Rev.Fr. Miguel Ángel Ayuso Guixot, Secretary Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue 19 May 2014 Your Eminences, Excellencies, Honoured Guests and dear Friends, It is a privilege for me to present to you some important parts of the history of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue, now in its milestone of fifty years and of which I am the Secretary for almost the past two years now. It is a pleasure to share with you this journey of half a century years which is certainly not that long in the two thousand year history of the Catholic Church but at the same time is rich in its significance. In my opinion, this period witnessed the opening of, to use a word so dear to Pope Francis, mercy with which the Church has protected and continues protecting the life of this world. The Vatican II Council, in asking us to listen to a rapidly changing world, called for adequate responses, making use of appropriate means, to witness to the Gospel of Jesus so that it reaches even those frontiers that seem insurmountable and more complicated: i.e. in the hearts of men and women who practise other religions in their friendly encounters with others and that is dialogue. First of all, I apologize for this extremely brief and incomplete account of the fifty years of service to interreligious dialogue. However, I hope to be able to give at least an idea of the work done in this respect all these years. I would like to recount, quickly, thus not exhaustively, some salient lived moments of the history of this Dicastery, thanks to all who beginning with the Presidents have worked hard to make manifest the will expressed by the Church to enter into dialogue with the believers of other religious traditions.

Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record.

The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events.

  • Archbishop Jadot, Former Papal Delegate in US, Dies in Belgium
    Archbishop Jadot, former papal delegate in US, dies in Belgium BRUSSELS, Belgium – Retired Belgian Archbishop Jean Jadot, former apostolic delegate in the United States, died Jan. 21 at his home in Brussels. He was 99 years old. A career Vatican diplomat, Archbishop Jadot represented the Vatican in the United States from 1973 to 1980. After leaving Washington, the archbishop served as pro-president of the Secretariat for Non-Christians, now called the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue. He retired in 1984. Announcing the archbishop’s death Jan. 21, Cardinal Godfried Danneels of Mechelen-Brussels said Archbishop Jadot was not well-known in Belgium, since he spent so much of his life outside his homeland, but he was well-known in the United States. The cardinal said that while full U.S.-Vatican diplomatic relations were not formalized until 1994 Archbishop Jadot helped pave the way. “At a moment when the eyes of the whole world were on the White House, this man of the church returned to the house of the Father,” the cardinal said. “May Archbishop Jadot continue to watch over the American nation, which was close to his heart.” Born Nov. 23, 1909, in Brussels, he was ordained to the priesthood in 1934 and was named an archbishop in 1968. As a Vatican diplomat, he served in Laos, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Equatorial Guinea and Cameroon before being named apostolic delegate to the United States. He also had served as a military chaplain for the Belgian armed forces when they controlled Congo and worked as national director of the Pontifical Mission Societies of Belgium.

  • Thomas Merton's Encounter with Buddhism and Beyond
    Thomas Merton’s Encounter with Buddhism and Beyond: His Interreligious Dialogue, Inter-Monastic Exchanges and Their Legacy by Jaechan Park A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Regis College and the Graduate Centre for Theological Studies of the Toronto School of Theology. In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Theology awarded by Regis College and the University of Toronto © Copyright by Jaechan Park 2018 Thomas Merton’s Encounter with Buddhism and Beyond: His, Interreligious Dialogue, Inter-Monastic Exchanges and Their Legacy Jaechan Park Doctor of Theology Regis College and the University of Toronto 2018 Abstract This thesis explores Thomas Merton’s role as a pioneer of Buddhist-Christian dialogue and monastic interreligious dialogue by: 1) delving into the process of Merton’s self-transformation through contemplative experiences; 2) exploring his encounter with Zen and Tibetan Buddhists and his pioneering engagements in Buddhist-Christian dialogue; 3) presenting and responding to the criticisms of those who raise questions about Merton’s understanding of Buddhism; 4) studying his inter-monastic exchanges with Buddhists at the level of contemplative dialogue; and 5) presenting the ways in which Merton’s pioneering legacy continues in the ongoing Gethsemani Encounters and monastic exchange programs as well as in intra-religious dialogue in an Asian monastic context. Through the lens of Zen, Merton saw the value and possibility of “contemplative dialogue” between monastics and contemplatives of different religious traditions, those men and women who look primarily to a transformation of human consciousness and a spiritual awakening from within their respective traditions. With regard to the future, he hoped that through contemplative dialogue, monastics would strive for “intermonastic communion” and a bonding of the broader “spiritual family” and thus become witnesses of the fundamental unity of humanity to a world that was becoming ever more materialistic and divided.
