The Catholic‐jewish Colloquium: An Experiment in Interreligious Learning

In 1992 the Lilly Endowment, Inc. awarded a grant of 142, 375 to the Institute for Christian‐Jewish Studies in Baltimore for the Catholic‐Jewish Colloquium. The Colloquium convened twenty‐two professional Catholic and Jewish educators from the northeastern quadrant of the United States for six intensive two‐day sessions over a period of nearly three years. This is the story of the project from the viewpoint of those who conceived and directed it. Our account is drawn from transcripts, journals, evaluations and personal communication with the participants, as well as from our own extensive notes.
