2025 marks the 60th Anniversary of Nostra Aetate, the ground-breaking Second Vatican Council declaration on interreligious dialogue.
To commemorate this milestone, Westminster Interfaith is hosting a series of events, entitled A Journey into Hope. The first event in the series, Discovering Nostra Aetate, is a 4-week course on the document, run by pre-eminent scholar, the Reverend Professor Michael Barnes SJ. Whilst the final event, Examining Nostra Aetate, held in partnership with St Mary's University, Twickenham, is a lecture by former President of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue, Cardinal Michael Fitzgerald M. Afr. OBE. We're delighted that both speakers have offered their valuable time to offer their insight into this text.
The second event, Celebrating Nostra Aetate, will take place on Tuesday, 28th October, the exact date of the anniversary. This will take place from 7-9 pm at the Church of the Immaculate Conception, Farm Street, Mayfair. We warmly invite you to join us for this evening of reflection and celebration. If you are able to attend, please kindly RSVP to this email, noting the names & emails of any guests you wish to bring.
We'd be grateful if you could share the attached posters or the info above with your contacts. We have included here the link to the series of events, collated on Eventbrite:
We hope to welcome as many people as possible to celebrate this significant anniversary together.
