Walking God's Paths
Catholic and Jewish Religious Leaders Weigh in on Walking God's Paths
Central Conference of American Rabbis
The recently released set of six 15-minutes videos, "Walking God's Paths: Christians
and Jews in Candid Conversation," is a logical and pleasant way to share insights
in each other's faith.
The first in the series deals at length with Vatican II and its primary teachings.
There is an excellent on-line User's Guide that should be of significant help to
the facilitators who lead the discussion of the films. It would be desirable to convene
a mixed audience of Catholics and Jews, limiting the number to not more than 25 or
so in order to enable the group to properly discuss the contents.
The facilitators should be persons who are knowledgeable and comfortable in the field
of Christian-Jewish relations. The local rabbi and priest are the logical persons
to lead the discussion. Alternately, a professor of religion from the community or
a worker in the area of interreligious affairs might fill the bill.

United States Conference of Catholic Bishops
Walking God's Paths, a series of short videos and DVDs on Christian-Jewish relations
over the centuries, is now available from USCCB Publishing. Walking God's Paths was
jointly commissioned by the Bishops' Committee for Ecumenical and Interreligious
Affairs (BCEIA) and the National Council of Synagogues (NCS) and funded by the NCS
and the Catholic Communication Campaign.
"The six 15-minute videos help viewers learn what Jews and Christians have in common
and how they diverge, how our interlocking histories over the centuries have both
enabled a profound sharing of spiritual resources and, at times, great tragedies,"
Cardinal Keeler wrote. "They tell how, in healing our relationship in this generation,
we have the opportunity to mend our still broken world to the benefit of all."
