Graymoor Ecumenical & Interreligious Institute is a co-sponsor of the 2024-2025 “Dialogues on Divinity” series, hosted by the Cathedral of St. John the Divine and the Community at the Crossing (an ecumenical program for spiritual formation in the heart of New York City).

On May 12th, the Cathedral will welcome three leaders in interreligious dialogue for a panel entitled “From the Margins to the Mainstream: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam in Conversation.”

The tragic events of October 7th and their aftermath have catapulted the engagement of Judaism and Islam into the center of dialogue with Christianity. Is it still possible to maintain good relations or are the three Abrahamic religions doomed to be locked in a widening gyre of enmity? Can the center hold? The conversation promises to be a meaningful exploration of the intersection of tradition, contemporary challenges, and shared values in a world that increasingly calls for interfaith cooperation.

The speakers will be:
Rabbi Dr. Burton Visotzky, scholar of Midrash and Interreligious Studies at the Jewish Theological Seminary where he serves as director of the Milstein Center for Interreligious Dialogue and as the Louis Stein Director of the Finkelstein Institute for Religious and Social Studies.

Emre Celik, Executive Director of the Peace Islands Institute New York and a Leadership Fellow at the Interfaith Center of New York.

The Rev. Eva Suarez, Canon for Community Engagement at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine.

Day-of student rush tickets will be available in person at the time of the event.
