October 28 marks the 50th anniversary of Nostra Aetate, the Second Vatican Council’s Declaration on the Relation of the Church to Non-Christian Religions.
The Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue is sponsoring a commemorative conference at the Pontifical Gregorian University, and Vatican Radio has broadcast several interviews on the document’s legacy, including an interview with the daughter of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, whose friendship with Cardinal Augustin Bea influenced the text.
