Father John Pawlikowski

This program is open to all members of the Tyler community. Please feel free to invite your friends and neighbors to this important program. We will hold a brief Shabbat and memorial service followed by our guest speaker. Father Pawlikowski is a Professor of Ethics at Catholic Theological Union in Chicago, where he is also the Director of the Catholic-Jewish Studies Program. John Pawlikowski’s extensive study of the Nazi Holocaust has enabled him to appreciate the ethical challenges facing the human community as it struggles with greatly enhanced power and extended responsibility for the future of all creation. His scholarly interests include the theological and ethical aspects of the Christian- Jewish relationship and public ethics. A leading figure in the Christian-Jewish dialogue, he is president of the International Council of Christians and Jews and author of Christ in the Light of the Christian Jewish Dialogue and co-editor with Judith Banki of Ethics in the Shadow of the Holocaust.

This program is being sponsored by the Spitzberg and Leonard Congregational Enrichment Fund.
