It is personal since I had had to learn a lot in the past few years about interreligious dialogue. It is also theological, since what I have to say will draw upon important research projects of the Institute for Advanced Catholic Studies at the University of Southern California. I am the president of that Institute. Our fundamental purpose is to support the research of scholars from many disciplines and faith traditions from around the world who wish to deepen their understanding of Catholic intellectual traditions and life. The Institute is, then, committed to ecumenical and interfaith research, dialogue and conversation.
