Description: Holocaust Memorial Day Lecture by guest speaker Dr. Arthur Urbano
A Hard Look in the Mirror: "Nostra Aetate" as Catholic Self-Reflection after the Holocaust
Dr Urbano is an Associate Professor in the Theology Department at Providence College, chair of the Providence College Jewish-Catholic Theological Exchange Committee and for the past decade has been involved in developing programs in Jewish-Catholic dialogue. He received his MDiv in New Testament and Christian Origins at Harvard Divinity School and his PhD in Early Christianity at Brown University.
Description: In 2015 the Catholic Church and much of the Jewish world commemorated the 50th anniversary of the Vatican II declaration, Nostra Aetate (known in English as the Declaration on the Relation of the Church to Non-Christian Religions). This document marked the Church’s official entrance into interreligious dialogue and is especially significant for its radical re-orientation and re-definition of the Christian-Jewish relationship in the context of European anti-Antisemitism and in the wake of the Holocaust.
This lecture is sponsored by the Center for Religious and Spiritual Life, Catholic Campus Ministries, and the Center for Jewish Culture all at UMass Dartmouth
Refreshments will be served.
