Blessed Heart of Jesus - Catholic Christian
The BMDG Bi-weekly Coffee Hour, with guest Father Dan Atkins will be held at 8:45pm on Friday, June 27, 2003 in the Fountain Park Apartments Community Room.
Father Dan Atkins is a Catholic friend of and participant in the Bloomington Muslim Dialog Group. He is the pastor of St. Paul Catholic Center, the Catholic student center for Indiana University. A high school teacher for twelve years, Fr. Dan earned a Master of Science in Education from Indiana University before entering the St. Meinrad School of Theology, receiving a Master of Divinity, and being ordained in 1987.
The title of Father Dan's talk will be "Nostra Aetate: a Doorway into Dialogue?"
Father Dan will lead a discussion about the possibilities and the challenges posed by Nostra Aetate, which is a document set forth by the Roman Catholic Church during the 1960s.
Here is a brief description of Nostra Aetate:
Between the years of 1962-1965 leaders of the Roman Catholic Church met in council to discuss how it might better serve the will of God and humanity. The sessions of Vatican II created sweeping changes in how the Church understood its identity and its role in the world, especially its relationship to other religions. In one of the last documents of the council, Nostra Aetate (In our age...), the bishops set forth their vision of how Catholics might relate to people of other religions.
